What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
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?
Set WPA2 and AES on the Orbi router and apply and reboot both router and satellite.
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
I have followed your instruction one by one. It still doesn’t work. But when I the 5.0Gz from 36 to 40,44. The upload is faster, I finish upload within 10mins. But when I upload another movie, the upload speed remain very slow...

I think NG support needs to review this.
