RBK852/Orbi Wifi6 Slow backhaul
Got the new RBK852/Orbi Wifi 6 system today from BB. Getting it up and running was easy. Started testing speeds and realized that the speed between the satellite and the router is very low. The satel...
So what is the backhaul on the Orbi Wifi 6 system?
I know that despite the touted backhaul on RBK53, I seem to get a maximum of around 33 MB/Sec, and am looking to improve this (ethernet on RBR50 and ethernet on RBS50).
I have an iMac 5k in my office (with Thunderbolt 3 attached Drobo 8D) connected to ethernet, and a Synology Diskstation 1817+ in the downstairs family room (egress). I actually had to physically move the Synology upstairs and hook up to a RBS50 ethernet port to do my restore of the 8D due to the slow backhaul.

Can you tell me what that translates to between an ethernet connected device on the router to an ethernet connected device on the satellite (assuming a good data connection between the router and satellite)?
When a device is connected via ethernet to either RBR or RBS, the max rate seen for ethernet is 1000Mbps. So most wired devices support up to 1000Mbps on there LAN ports. So you going from a 1000Mpbs pipe to a 1200Mpbs wireless pipe between the RBS and RBR, then back down to a 1000Mbps from the RBR out to the modem/internet.

Correction:
