I have positioned satellite 20 ft away from router with direct line of sight. Sill the backhaul status is poor.

Tried resetting the router still the same issue.

Current firmware: V2.5.1.22

There have been reports of slow WIFI on certain firmware versions.

The current official version is 2.5.1.16. I'm not sure if this may be your problem, but it's possible. 

You can get the files by typing in your model on this NG download website:

Check the following settings as well:

Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Set Short preamble mode, Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, MU-MIMO. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
