What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

I went to connect my LG OLED55B7P TV to the wireless which connected fine, but the speed dropped drastically to 20-30 mbs. I tried hardwiring via Ethernet cable from the satellite directly to the TV and got the same results.
I have Spectrum internet (100 Mbs) with their cable modem: Ubee DDW36C.My Orbi is from Costco: RBK22 (NETGEAR Orbi Mini AC2200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi System, 2-pack)
