RBK852 devices connected through ethernet ports are slow.

Problem solved.
Connecting the ethernet wire from RBR 850 to RBS 850 must be the last step of the set up.
First I made sure the RBR setup is complet while RBS is not connected to the power. Connection speeds: Laptop wired: 950Mbps, I-phone XmaxS 650 Mbps in the same room.
Then I factory reseted the RBS and synced wirelessly with RBR 35 feet away.
After the Blue light on RBS is turned off and my I-phone Xs Max showed 400 Mbps, then I connected the in wall Cat 6 Ethernet wire from the cenral room where ONT, RGW and RBR 850 are. The wired backhaul method gave higher wifi speeds than the wireless backhaul. On I-phone Xs Max I got 600-650 Mbps. All the devices connected to the back of RBS are fine and my HTPC desktop 2 floors down gets 950-1000 Mbps.
My phone still gets 250 Mbps 2 floors away. Is this sattelite stronger than RBS50?
This 2 node system covers 5000sq f
My RGW is in pass trough mode allready.
My neighbor has the same identical settings but with older Netgear AC3000 (RBK53) system and speeds are aronound 950 wired and 600 Mbps wirelessly.
I will keep the same settings and try with that model soon and report back.
I forgot to add that I selected the mac address of the RBR 850 automatically from dropdown menu of the ATT RGW pass trough page. The last number of that address is one digit higher than the physical number on the bottom of the RBR 850. Is this normal?
