Not saying this is the issue but you moved from a triband system with a dedicated backhaul to a dual band system without that dedicated backhaul. that might be part of your issue is the lack of that dedicated backhaul.

It could be the connection between the router---satellite isn't great and when you're saturating it, its dropping. (just guessing)
If that fixes the issues, I'd look into picking up a half decent powerline or moca adapter (ethernet over coax) to hardwire in the satellite. Or you can use that cable to hardwire it in if you can hide/sneak it through the wall.
