Hello J1odie,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
To add to FURRYe38,
You mentioned that you just purchased your RBK50 Mesh System. The firmware currently installed on your system could be out of date causing network compatibility issues. Please ensure that you are using the current version of firmware for your Orbi RBK50. When installing the most current firmware for your RBK50 which is FW version 2.7.4.24 ensure you upgrade the satellite first. After your RBK50 is updated remove all satellites from the network and check the speed that you are receiving from your RBR50 then add the additional satellites if necessary.
Please navigate to the link below for the download file for your RBR50:
