Orbi Router (RBR50) & 1-Satellite (RBS50) Download Speeds

What Firmware version is currently loaded?

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

Be sure your wifi device is connected to the RBS and not the RBR. Turn OFF the devices wifi radio for 5 seconds then back when near the RBS. Then speed test.

Orbi Satellite is connected with ethernet cable to Orbi router.  Satellite provides service in remote part of house.  Cable internet service provider says signal good to modem.  Speed check for each: router 240, satellite 94 download & 6 upload for both (these are consistent over several speed tests).  The speed for router and satellite are as above regardless whether connected using wifi or ethernet cable. 

 

Is the drop in satellite download speed normal?

 

Thank you.
