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 ...

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!
