Sounds like the signal and status is right on the boarder of good and poor and where your debarcation is for the ethernet to the RBS2. You can possible extend the LAN cable from the newer location of RBS1 to the wall jack? Or is this one cable out to the RBS2 one long length?
There are simple LAN cable barrel connectors that would work as well to add on a longer cable section to whats in place now so you can move the RBS1 to the better location.

about 35 ft from router to Sat 1 and then another 50ft on to sat 2 from sat 1. Is the router somehow getting confused as to wireless from Sat 2?
i will switch off sat 2 and see if the backhaul status changes and report back..

So the status with RBS2 off reports Poor or Good on the RBS1?
- KieltyAug 31, 2021StarStill reports as poor although no lights. I rebooted RBS1 whilst 2 was off. Reconnected wirelessly and blue LED. In the router management page still showed 5G poor backhaul.
