Good signal on Wireless poor on hardwired

So I just got a RBS40V from work to put on my network which entails 1 RBR50 and 1 satelite RBS50. My wifi seems to be great, I have a gig through Frontier (fiber) coming in and I get 700+ on the other side of the house with my iphone. The house is 2600 sqft, and the Router is on one end while the RBS40V is on the other. The RBS50 is in the middle but not in a direct line, each satelite I believe is more than 30 ft apart.

My question or issue is I have my Gaming computer hardline Cat5 to the RBS40V and  the MBS is horrid 150-170.

Could this be the settings? 

Too many wifi things connected to it? (if this is the case I would want to know to fix it lol)

Interference?

 

What other info would you need.

Thank you in advance

Cheers

  • Here is rough Sketch, all Satelites and Router have the latest firmware

  • Is Daisy Chain enabled on the RBR? 

     

    Does the wired device show same speeds connected to the RBS50?

     

    CAT6 cabling is recommended at minimum.

      Daisy Chain is enabled on RBR

      I checked the cable and it is Cat 6, thought it was Cat 5

      Ill go up and plug something into the RBR and let you know
