I just did a test, getting 300Mbps (my connection is 300Mbps), so full speed. I then checked the satellite "page" in the browser, and sure enough, it had all parts of the image in blue. I then ran it a minute later, and then it maxed out at 170 Mbps. I then checked the page again, and now it is greyed out between the router and the satelite on the 5 Ghz band again. It is as if once it is "maxed" it turns "something" off, throttling the communication between the routers?
