RBK852 slow WiFi

Hey y’all I have broadband service and get 50-70 mbps over an old Apple AirPort Extreme. I installed my orbi and one satellite and the WiFi speed is capped at 10mbps. I thought it maybe increase...

Thanks for recommendation. Tried factory reset. No change. Tried unplugging satellite so only focused on base unit, no change.

Bout ready to return and find a better solution.

    The orbi is the RBK852

    The ISP antenna is
    Mikrotik
    RBSXTR
    R11e-LTE-US
    RouterOS v6.46.4

    That is all that is connected. Not sure of any adapters.

    Thanks

    Sorry. I was just trying to show that speeds was device agnostic. I don’t get any higher speed regardless of PC or Mac. Mobile or laptop. I am somehow capped at 10mbps. I have login to antenna and can see it coming in faster.
