What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Do you get to spec speeds with your wired PC connected to the RBR?

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. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Above suggestions working:

Tried all of the above and it does not change anything.

Just to be clear I am getting 300+M on wifi devices, the issues here is with wired devices connected to the satelite.

Do you get 1000Mbps and to spec speeds when connected to the RBR?

Possible the RBS could be faulty.
