Orbi Satellite faster than Orbi Router
I just switched to Orbi. I have an RBR50 connected to two satellites, an RBS40 thru ethernet backhaul and an RBS50 via wireless.
My router (RBR50) is showing download speeds of around 40 MBPS but the RBS40 satellite connected thru ethernet to the router is slamming at 230 MBPS. The wirelessly connected RBS50 is showing similar speeds to the router with a little dropoff at around 30 MBPS.
Everything has the most recent firmware and yesterday both the RBR50 and the RBS40 were both running nearly identical speeds of arounnd 200 MBPS.
How is it possible that the satellite can be running that much faster, or faster at all, than the router, which is the unit connected to modem itself? Doesn't make any sense and I can't find any similar issues or answers to this online.
Thoughts?

I'm assuming you had good speeds yesterday and now you have the bad speeds on the RBR50 and the 2 RBS50 satellites?
Try these settings on the router:
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
