Wi-Fi speed
I have the RBK50 and here recently my Wi-Fi speed is only topping out at 304 mbps. Before I could get 500 to 700 mbps connection to the router. I use the app Wi-Fi SweetSpots to see connection speed. ...

Wifi Sweet Spots only gives link rate between the client device and the host wifi router. It's kind of handy if your wifi router doesn't show or have support or link rates with mobile devices.
Magoo150 Have you disabled the wifi radio on the mobile device then when you are near either RBR or RBS, turn ON the wifi and let it connect, then test the link rate with wifi sweet spots app?

It still tops out at 304 mbps, and that right next to the satellite. I use Wi-Fi SweetSpots to find any dead zones in my house. Everything was fine and dandy until I enabled NETGEAR Armor. The link rate is half what it used to be. I appreciate the help hopefully I can figure this out soon.

Armor has been know to cause problems. I recommend that you factory reset the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch. This time do not enable any Armor or Circle apps.
