Slow Satellite 2 Speeds
Hello, one more issue to resolve. I get wifi speeds of 4-600 beside router, and beside sat 1. Beside sat 2 I'm only seeing around 100 sometimes 120 ish. Is this normal? Should the full speed ...

Getting speeds of 105 or so in my garage now.
Router basement front of house
Sat 1 basement back or house ( in window cil pointing garage )
And sat 2 just inside garage door.
Can live with these speeds as long as it stays online.. which it isn't .

Satellite-1 backhaul signal strength at -60dBm is ideal, but Satellite-2 backhaul signal strength at -72dBm isn't usable. Try moving Satellite-2 around to get better signal strength first. It needs to be higher than -70dBm, ideally between -60dBm to -67dBm.

Given your current satellite-2 signal strength at -72dBm, enabling fast roaming, daisy-chain, and short preamble will be a bad combimation. You can come back to tweak these settings after relocating satellite-2 to get usable backhaul signal strength.

I recommend getting the RBR and RBS out of the basement and up to the 1st or main floor. Basements are not good for wifi.
- CodybutsSep 17, 2019AspirantBoth are 5g good, and both operable for me right now, with speeds around 110 in my garage . I'm ok with that right now, I wasn't before but I am now.. my issue is the DISCONNECTING!
I left it bridged last night..it ran up til 10am this morning and cut out for a half hour, where it usually cuts out and I have to reboot the modem..
I've spent 17+ hours on the phone, talked to every level of tech, supposed to recieve phone calls back and I don't ..this is the worst customer experience ever- SW_Sep 17, 2019Prodigy

Typically, Fast Roaming will disconnect its clients if the signal strength is bellow -70dBm, which is the current situation that satellite-2. Speed is irrelevant if the wireless network is unstable. Hopefully, the replacement unit will resolve the DISCONNECT issue.
Good Luck!
