However, in the last month I have been having an issue with my RBR50 Router. Speeds via the wireless are maxing at 230 on almost all my devices. For testing I am using 3rd Generation iPad pro 12.9, iPhone XS Max and MacBook Pro 2017. However, when I test hardwire, I am getting 830 to 930 Mbps.
Now if I switch my devices to the RBS50 that is using wired backhaul I am averaging 600 Mbps on wireless. I have not tested hardware as I don’t need it on this node.

Since you are able to achieve high speeds from the satellite, it seems that the backhaul and the WAN connection are both fine.
The issue seems to be only with the fronthaul wifi connection.
- When your devices are attached wirelessly to the Router, do you know if they are connected on 2.4 or 5 GHz bands?
- Can you please make a wifi scan and see the channles that are being used in your environment and try to select your best 2.4 and 5 GHz channels accordingly. Try selecting other channels than those that you are using today.
Both satellites are connected via 5 GHz. I have tried every channel for both 5 and 2.4 GHz. Some 5 GHz channels reduce speeds while other stay in the 200 range.
I think this is a HW issue at the router. Hope NG support and offer you something. Ask for an RMA.
