RBK753S new setup

Question

I've had an RBR50 and two satellites for about a year and a half. But recently, I was experiencing lots of lag streaming between devices. After testing several things, I could not pinpoint the problem. So I went out and bought an RBK753 with 2 satellites, hoping a more current and powerful device would help. Im not even sure how much of an upgrade it will be, as I have no wifi6 devices. I receive the RBK753 tomorrow. I have a one floor house around 1400 feet. I use a Netgear SB8200 as my modem. Even though I'm on a 1gig plan from my ISP, it's not fiber, so I usually top out around 920. I'll be using a switch with 1gig ports as well. My main goal is to have a wired backhaul. High Wifi speeds aren't necessary as most of my devices will be wired and in different rooms. What would be the best configuration for this setup? Is link aggregation an option? Thanks.

Prior to buying a new system, did you test your gaming setup connected to the Arris SB8200 directly and not through a router?&nbsp;

Thanks for the reply. No I did not. I have a shield connected to the router. I have the computer connected to an ethernet port on a satellite. I was trying to use a streaming game service like steam link and rainway. But the lag was beyond horrible. When I connect each individually, speeds are fine, between them terrible.

I thought it could be my computer because it's on the low end, but it still has a gig port. I tried with my Samsung 10+ via wifi, same problem.

Between the 2 devices, one which is connected to the router, the other to a satellite.It doesn't matter which app, both devices with a wired connection should not result in 10fps. They are also fairly close to each other, around 35 feet.The new system probably won't make a difference, but I figure it's worth checking it out. I've been meaning to upgrade anyway, if it is even an upgrade.
