Question, if the backhaul is 5 GB 1733 should the satellite be showing in the Netgear Genie as having a connection to the main router of only 100 MBPS? I assume since it is excluse to 5GB 1733 then the genie should be showing a connection speed higher than 100 MBPS. For instance my iPhone 7 shows a connection of 800+ to the main router. Why only 100 for the Satellite?

Hello Irishbrowncoat
It could be with band steering that the satellite is putting the phone on the 2.4 ghz or its staying connected to the main router on the 2.4ghz when connected far away.
