MR60 slow WiFi speed

I purchased the MR60 and satellite in November and was happy with the performance now it seems if I am close to the router it works fine if I move away the speed test drops if I have the satellite connected my devices barely work. I have upgraded and downgraded the firmware it doesn’t seem to matter any suggestions work be appreciated.

    have you tried moving the satellite around? 

    Certain materials do block wifi and maybe something was moved to cause obstruction

      I have moved it to multiple locations and it doesn’t change, I have reset both to factory default and it hasn’t changed.

        after changing firmware did you reset to factory? 

        What modem are you using?
