What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Be sure that CTS and RTS values are changed to 2346 under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
I would turn OFF the RBS and speed test a wired PC connected to the RBR first. Then wireless at the router.
Thanks for the swift input.
Things look better now
Completely reset and re-installed the network - The error might have been that the satelites did not sync properly by WLAN with the router prior to be connected to the cables. Speed is now better and consistent - Would you suggest to leave the CTS and RTS Values to 2346 - The automatic setup has set those to 64 - Would appreciate your advice on this FURRYe38
Great to hear. Thanks for letting us know. Seems that the wireless sync first then ethernet after still seems to be a good process.
Run it for a while, if you are not in a noise wifi area with lots of neighbors near by, you can raise the value back up. Or if you notice some of your devices don't connect well or at all. I saw with this NEST controllers so I raised mine up.
