- When measuruíng the speed on mobile, do you know if the mobile is connected to 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz? The 5GHz gives more bandwidth. Switch off Wifi and switch back on to change the band.
- Is the device you use for measuring connected to the router or the satellite? Do you see a difference if the device is connected to the router or the satellite?
- Does restarting the router/satellite improves anything?
- What device do you use for measurement? An iPhone?
- Do you see any difference if you get closer to the router/satellite?
When I measured the mobile was connected to 5ghz and was connected to the router. Seems to give a slight bit more when connected to the router rather than satellite but not much in it. Can get 20mb if I get right next to it but even that is no where near the 51 on wired and I used to get 50odd on wireless anywhere in the house! I am using android to measure.
Test with other devices if you can to compare.

I am using android to measure.- Tested with iPad and different android phone and still the same on all 3.
