      I have the same problem after spending hours and hours with Netgear customer service they told me to return the device. 

      My Modem gets 500Mbps + speed and with hard wired to router its only 200Mbps, its 500Mps on Iphone when am in front of the router once go farther the speed on iPhone varies from 50-100mbps. I couldn't understand what is the use of the satellite then if wifi speed is downgraded significantly when you are away from the router and closure to the satellite. My firmware is up to date.
