25 ft is a bit too short for having a stallite. There best in the range of 40-50 feet.
You might try moving the Satellite out farther. If you can't, try running the router only with out the Satllite. The range of the routers wifi will be more than adequet for 25 ft.
Also try setting a manual channel on 2.4Ghz to 1, 6 or 11, and any unused channel on 5ghz.
Disable MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming. Test with Beamforming enabled then disabled.
If you upgraded to v2.1.3.4, besure you factory reset both router and satellite, then set up from scratch. You can downgrade FW as well.
