Backhaul poor out of nowhere

sorry - a bit of clarity. When I switched satellites it didn't matter which satellite was in that room it was still reading the same speed. So I'm extremely confident it's the location.
Also - when I check for firmware updates it tells me I'm up to date but my router and 2 of my satellites are at 4.6.9.11 and the one that's not performing is at 6.3.8.5 so... not sure why 1. they're different and 2. why they aren't reflecting as the most recent version even though when I check for updates it tells me I'm good.
I've tested the speed off my phone as well as off a laptop (her work pc in her office)
both the phone and the pc are registering as being on that satellite. (however I don't know how to force the connection to a specific satellite even if I wanted to)

FW version on the RBR and RBS should be the same.
What model RBS do you have? RBS350s or 750s? There was a difference in kits that came the the 750 RBR. RBK750 came with RBS750s and RBK650 series had a RBR750 and RBS350s.

2 of my satellites are 750 (firmware: 4.6.9.11)
1 of them is a 760 (firmware: 6.3.8.5)
I've tried swapping the satellites around but none of them will pull more than 130mbps in that room anymore (and they all work fine in my other locations).
