SXK80 - WEAK Satellite signal on all devices

Reposting, since no response on OP.

I'm having 2 situations on a new SXK80 system.  I am on the latest 3.2.6.102 firmware.

1: Devices that are 10 feet away and line of sight from the router, bypass it and connect to the satellite that is 30+ feet away, sometimes giving a fair signal.

2: All wireless devices that connect to the Satellite show fair to poor connection, even if the device is 10 feet away from the satellite. I've reset the system, checked the backhaul connection, which is Good (-43 dBm), checked the channels for interference, repositioned and moved devices, forget network on devices and rejoined.

Nothing changes.

Has there been any issues regarding connectivity for this system?

    have you tested the speeds to see if its just a display issue for the "fair signal"

      Yes, it only happens with devices connecting to the Satellite.
