What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
As a quick test, turn OFF the RBS and run speed test with your devices say 10 feet away from the RBR.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

I'll check on the verizon gear... The home is 2900 sq feet and it's over 30 feet from Sat 1 to sat 2. It's under 30 ft from the router to Sat 1 (that distance is more like 15 ft

15 feet is TOO close. 30 feet minimum in between the RBR and all RBS.

You think that would mess with the download speed?
