ISP Modem - Its a Huawei modem from the telco (i will check the model# later)
Home Size - An apartment thats Approx 1000 sqft, all on one level
Distance betweem the Router and Sats : The router is in the living room, in an elevated position. The Sats are in adjoining rooms. I would Say Sat 1 is about 8 ft from the router (but separated physicaly by a wall) Sat 2 is probably around 20 - 254ft or so from the router, separated physically by 2 adjoining walls.
The backhaul status of each satellite is ''Good''. Both are connected to the Orbi Router with a connection type of 5G.
I have updated the firmware of all to V4.6.3.7_2.0.40
I've noted some of the other changes suggested on this thread but may hold off making any config changes and see the impact of the firmware update has. Will post a status in due course.

What materials are these walls?
