Slow Internet Connection to Orbi Satellite via Ethernet

I recently moved into our detached garage which has been renovated into a bedroom. I have the Orbi Satellite set up with the latest firmware and everything. I have a pretty strong connection to the WiFi with around 112 mbps download and 12mbps upload; however, my desktop does not have WiFi capabilities and is connected via ethernet to the Satellite and is just getting around1mbps down and 12mbps upload.

 

After rebooting several times and trying each port on the satellite, I am still struggling to get good, stable speeds on my desktop. Any suggestions?

    What Firmware is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
    Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?

    What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.

     

    Try disabling the following and see:
    Daisy Chain

     

    Does another PC connected wired at the satellite do the same thing? 

    Be sure to use good quality LAN cables. Swap LAN cables to test...
