slower speeds SXS80
We live in a long house with metal framing and hence I created a mesh with SXR80 + 5 x SXS80 satellites. They are all connected using ethernet backhaul (CAT8 on multigig unmanaged switch). Insigh...

With the wired backhaul not a Mesh, at the risk of breaking the marketing speech here.

Insight app tells me the WAN speed is 2250/2250 up and down.
Yes, this is what one would expect from such a fast Internet connection - direct on the router.
All other SXS80 are connected using simple Gigabit Ethernet links.

How are the SXR80, the unmanaged switch (limiting the possibility of configuring multiple VLANs), and the SXS80 connected? Have some simple drawing at hand?

When I am using wifi; speeds rarely cross 250 download but uploads are 750 or better. Even wired downloads beyond SXR80 on CAT8 are below 500 mpbs, where as it should be closer to 1 gbps.
More than strange, considering the backhaul would allow something near to one Gb, indeed. Based on the the strong asymmetrical speed, is it correct you are using decent wireless clients?
Curious what the Netgear cracks can add here.

Excellent - welcome to the Netgear community here!
Thanks for taking an interest in this. Here is what the network looks like. I disabled all other SSIDs but the main one and vlan was disabled. I m checking speeds with speedtest app on my Google Pixel cell phone with adaptive connectivity switched off standing about 5-10 feet away from a SXS 80.
Great! What concerns me a little bit is the note of the SXR80 direct ethernet connection making 500 down and 750 up, not just the wireless showing just a 250 down and 750 up. Unless we face the odd problem some customers face with a very similar Netgear switch reporting almost similar poor throughput results, e.g. Speed reduction with XS508M
Something for Netgear to look into.
