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.

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.
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...
