RBR50 slow wifi speed with FIOS

Hello,

 

I have gigabit service from Verizon and 3 Orbi devices. The router is connected directly to the FIOS ONT, no Verizon router. Wifi speeds are <400Mbps, usually around 200. Wired connections are strong, close to theoretical maximums.

 

What Firmware version is currently loaded? V3.2.18.1_1.4.14
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Alcatel I-211M-L
What wieless device are you using? iPhone 12 Pro, Pixel 5

What are your wired speed results with a wired PC or laptop? 850+Mbps

 

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? ~4500
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. Hardwired

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz. Have tried both auto and setting various manual channels.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many? No interferring wifi from neighbors

      Yes, RBR50 with two satellites. I have a switch downstream of the RBR, wired speed tests directly to RBR and behind the switch are the same.
