HORRIBLE wifi speed but ULTRAFAST via ethernet ports
Issue: Cable modem (SPECTRUM) delivering 350+ Mbps INBOUND with near equal throughput (measured via FAST.COM) to devices via Ethernet ports on two satellites. Wifi throughput, HOWEVER, typically...
One thing I like to try when I'm having issues with my mesh system is to shut off the satellites and just test the router's speeds.
And test them for a bit to see if they stay stable. Its a bit of a pain in the rear but it helps to figure out if the router is causing the issues or something with the satellites.
Is this issue new or has it been going on for a while?

This process helped me identify the RBS40V as the cause of the issue with VERY POOR and SPOTTY WiFi speed. I didn't chase down why that is but getting another RBS50 solved the problem.
WiFi Speed is still 300+ Mbps a week or so later.
