Multiple Issues: Slow Speed, Network Map Error, Phantom Satellite
Firmware:V3.2.16.6_1.4.4 ISP Modem: Zyxel C3000Z Provider: Century Link 1gbps up/ down fiber Home sq ft: ~6,500 3 satellites and distances: ~30 ft to RBS upper level 1 (wireless backhaul) ~30 ...
Whelp, appears to be the switch.
I tested hardwired speeds at the modem and RBR, found both to be near 1gbps. Tested at the switch in an open port and saw speeds drop to 1/3-1/2. Reset the switch and speeds are where they should be at the switch and wall plates.
Looks to have fixed the network mapping issue as well. I am going to leave the phantom satellite in place for now. I do not want to deal with factory resetting everything and setting back up manually and I am concerned a backup file would "reload" the phantom satellite.
Thanks for your help. I should have thought to check at the switch and RBR prior to posting.
What mode is the modem working in? Router or Modem only?
Are the RBS wired directly connected to the RBR? Or is there a LAN switch in between the RBS and RBR?
IF there is a switch, mfr and model please...
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
I would review this:

RBS are connected to RBR using a LAN switch. Araknis AN110SWR24

3-4 nieghbors, all 50-70 ft away.
As mentioned, no issues prior to the system going down this weekend and no changes to the setup since first installed.
