Are the RBS directly connected to the RBR or is there a network switch in between the RBR and RBS?
If there is one, What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?

One Statlite is directly connected to the 750 , the other is connect via "wifi". I have the Cox Giga and standing directly in front of the RBR750 I get max wifi speeds of 250mps, and its only worse as i walk away from it.

What happens if you swap the RBS with each other? See if the problem follows and tracks with the working RBS.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.

The issue is not that one Satalite is working and the other is not, they are both showing up in the Orbi App Network Diagram and "working" the problem is that the degradation of the speed in wifi is much greater then the projected 30%. I am only getting 250 mps max (standing directly in front of the router) on a Giga Connection. I will check on the quality of the cable.
