Did you try to factory reset the satellite and resync it? also do you have special charters in your password this is a known bug that causes strange satellite behavior. You also may want to try and enable MUMIMO and beamforming if that is disabled.

Thanks for your reply. I have updated my admin password to exclude special characters - or perhaps you mean the network password? Either way, there are no more special characters.
MUMIMO and beamforming are both enabled.
I have not factory reset the satellite and re-synched. I did turn it off completely and was still unable to get more than 10Mbps delivered on the dedicated line to the office here. The WiFi in the tower registers well over 200Mbps so I've switched to WiFi, but usually prefer a wired connection for this. The same base unit is delivering 100Mbps to the living room (says 100M/Full in the statistics page) and receiving 1Gbps from the WAN.
