I didn’t get with which configiration you see the reduced speed issue.

LATEST Firmware is the most up to date for RBR50 and satellites. Whether hard connected (Ethernet backhaul) or wirelessly connected I get the fast speeds. In either scenario everything starts to fail as soon as I connect the switch reducing my speeds to 5-10Mbps

- What switch do you use?
- Do you connect it to the Router or Satellite?
- What other wired devices do you have attached to Orbi nodes?

Ive tried multiple switches both new and same problem. Interestingly enough I have a switch connected to one of the satellites and I have no problems its only the switch connected directly to the Orbi router that causes this.
I have some home audio equipment connected to the main switch in an electronics closet as well as home automation and a verizon network extender.
