You’re problem may be different then.
Try different combinations of Ethernet cables, which port you’re using on the Sat and if possible a different test PC, to eliminate variables in the test environment. If that doesn’change anything then a factory reset is the next obvious step. A factory reset, as painful as it is to set up everything again, works for a number of glitches, including bottlenecks.
Note that the link I gave earlier was for the RBK50 firmware. Make sure you’re running the most up to date firmware off your kit’s support (download) page.
