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:

That's ok. Glad to be a pointer for you.
I recommend non manged non green ethernet switches for use in between the RBR and RBS.
NG GS-105/108v4 series works, D-Links DGS-105/108 and HP Procurve 1400/1800 series also work.I know what non-managed switches are. What is non-green? I have never heard of that before.
Disregard. Green = power saving. Will keep an eye on this for now and if the switch causes issues again I will swap out.
Resurrecting this since my current switch continues to give me problems. I need a 24 port switch and the handful you suggested appear to be 5 or 8 port. Would the NG JGS524v2 fit the bill or do you recommend something else?
I don't know for sure. You can try it out. Only 24 ports that I know work is HP procurve 1400 and 1410s. I see there is a 1410 on amazon...
