Speed from 500mbps down to 25mbps
So i just received the Orbi yesterday and have it setup. The good news is, I have full signel all over my house. The bad news is, if I tested the speed via ethernet cable between the rounter and ...

Is that Ethernet cable now connected still to the router or to the satellite when it dropped to 70mbps from the 500mbps?

Nothing has changed since day one, speed via ethernet cable to satellite is still remain about 70mbps, wifi speed keep around 25mbps.
Top speed via router is 500 mbps
Okay. Just checking I understood your setup.
What is really strange is that you get 75Mbps via Ethernet and 25 Mbps via Wifi to satellite. If the bottleneck would be between satelitte and router one would assume that both Ethernet or Wifi connection to the satelitte should not matter and give your roughly the same results.
Have you ever tried to move the satelitte to the 1st floor as suggested earlier and see what your results are in this location?
I know you have concerns about then reaching your 4th floor but it might be worth a try just to see.
