You may need a RBS to help spread and share the load. There are more connections per device then just 1 connection.

Oops i see you mentioned a modem and RBS. My bad.
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.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
