Wired connection is always more stable than a wireless connection. These are sonme steps you can follow on your end to fix the issue you are experiencing.
1. Make sure you do not have any electronic devices near the router or the satellite(s), especially wireless speakers, cameras, or wireless phones. They all interfere with the WiFI signals. This can reduce the speed.
2. Change the wireless channels for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Choose the non-overlapping channels like 1,6,11 for 2.4Ghz, and 44 for 5Ghz. It usually takes care of slow speed or wireless intermittent issues.
3. Enable implicit beamforming. It broadcasts the WiFi signals in a specifc direction, making the signals stronger and consistent.
I hope this helps.
