RBR50 with 1 satellite
So I live in a split foyer house. It's about 1400sqft. The router is in the master bedroom which is on the far end of the house. The satellite is in the basement on the other end of the steps. I tried...
A wired connection between the RBR and xbox would be best.
Good Luck.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
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.

I tried putting the satellite in the office which is at the other end of the house in the basement but had very poor connection so I was forced to put it where it is now. Could I get another satellite and put in the office or is it too close and pointless to the other satellite. I guess my thinking is the satellite I would put in the office would go off the satellite in the basement which goes to the router and therefore give me great connection. As seen in the picture the satellites would not be very far apart at all. Unless there's other options I'm stumped on what to do. The computer has been working good with a wifi extender but ideally I would like to put my xbox in there as well but I want everything to be connected via cable. Thanks for looking and possibly helping it's greatly appreciated.
Firmware is V 2.7.2.104
Don't have a modem. It's satellite internet.
About 1400sqft is my split foyer home.
The satellite is about 40-50ft away and on a different level. I'm very confused now because I moved my satellite and am getting better signal but my xbox which is wired into the satellite is getting WAY worse. I'm getting 31mbps on my phones wifi and only 23.51mbps on my wired Xbox.

You might move the RBS a bit slower to the RBR maybe.

If so, to me that suggests that the satellite box also acts as a router.
That is why FURRYe38 asked about the "Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected to".
It may not be a modem, but it is certainly something that could affect the behaviour of your network.
So the question still applies. What is the Mfr and model#?
- It's a netgear orbi RBR50 v.2 with 1 satellite
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? This would not be the Orbi system.
