RBR20: Slow backhaul
RBR20 running firmware V2.5.1.16
RBW30 Orbi Satellite, firmware V2.5.0.4
Speeds to the RBR20, and from the RBR20 and Satellite (wireless) are all ~450mbps.
However, anything connected to the RBR20 backhaul ethernet port is limited to ~ 90mbps
Ruled out any cabling or switching possibilities. Slow backhaul also existed prior to updating firmware to V2.5.1.16
Any ideas on correcting the slow backhaul, or is this a known issue?

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Not seen on Orbi AX.Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).One User Experience/Configuration:
