Other speed test servers maybe more busier than others so you need to find one that gives you constant speed results on a wired PC first. Then use same for wireless devices.
I used a couple. Main one is speedtest.net and also http://internethealthtest.org/ to compare results.

You also need to find the sub servers with in Ooklas speed test. There are several distanced test sites that are in your area to choose from as well.

So after disabling Daisy-chain topology, my PC connects to the router at 2.4Ghz. The router is 30 feet and 2 walls away whiie the satellite is 4 clear feet away from the PC. I need to disconnect and then connect again to get to the satellite; sometimes I need to try this a few times before I get the 5Ghz connection to the satellite. Something is weird in the Daisy-chain functionality that seems to have a wider impact than satellite-to-satellite communicaion.
