Ethernet backhaul
I have my Sattelite ethernet backhaul wired to my Orbi Modem Router but still do not get great speeds to devices connecting to satellite. The satellite is in the basement and has a few devices in th...
I have 100 mbps internet speed and checked the connection from the router via ethernet by connecting directly to my computer. Speed I was getting averaged around 50mbps after testing 3 times. It's a brand new CAt5 ethernet cable (50ft) and everything I have read is that the distance it's travelling shouldn't effect speed. When I test wifi coming from router I typically get speeds varying from 80-110 mbps so not sure where the fall off is coming from.

Is it cat 5 or cat 5e? Cat 5 is only rated 10/100 mbps. Distance does matter but not at 50ft. 300ft is usually the max.
I'd also check the cable from the router----satellite as well to make sure its at least cat5e.
