Orbi RBS20 connected to RBR50 lags when connecting to a new site
I have connected a RBS20 Orbi satellite to my existing Orbi network comprising of a RBR50 Orbi router and RBS50 Orbi satellite.
Devices that are connected to RBR50 and RBS50 respond fast as expected, but devices that are connected to the new RBS20 Orbi satellite seem to stuggle to load data. When I look at my router speed, it shows 93.2 mbps download and my devices connected to my RBS20 show a connectivity speed of 400 mbps.
The RBS20 is about 10 meters (30 feet) from the RBR50 with 3 drywalls in between.
What could be going on here. TIA for any help.
