If your turn OFF all satellites and ALL other LAN and wireless devices. Just the RBR and pick one wireless and wired devoce. What are you speeds on wired and wireless?
Some wireless devices may not support up to 900Mb wireless speeds. Most max out at round 400-500Mb approx. Some newer wifi device maybe more capable.
Any speed differences if you disable MIMO, Daisy Chain or Fast Roaming?

Furrye38,
I appreciate the response. I am curretnly running new devices that can handle the 600 Mbps on wifi as I can achieve the speeds on my RBS50 that is using wired backhaul. I can also achive 500 to 600 at work where the network is enterprise level.
As for turning OFF all the satellites and runnning just the RBR50, I have done this and it still gets the same speeds. I have also gone as far as shutting off almost all the devices accessing that node.
If I tried disabling all and a mixed bag of the beamforming, MIMO Fast Roaming. Beamforming obvioulsy decreases the speeds. Outside of that nothing changes.

Try a factory rest on the RBR and setup from scratch. Don't enable QoS, traffic meter or Access controls. Test the wifi immediately after setting it up. If speed doesn't change, possible the RBR is fautly.

As I had mentioned, I have done 4 resets. No Speedtest, traffice meter or access controls were set. Same results.
