Hello, I have RBR850 and (4) RBS850 .. 6500 Sq ft houseATT -1 Gig fiber into the houseI am not using the router provided by ATT, I have created a bridge and use the Orbi as router. The 1 Gig into the house and Orbi Router is fine, However I am lucky if I get 100MB within the separate rooms of the house on wifiWe also get intermitment outages / very slow speed (even in room where the satellite are in front of all devices) Any help would be appreciated. I have escalated to level 1 and its a finger pointing exercise vs. fixing the issue ThanksRimasiddi

What Firmware version is currently loaded?Make sure the ISP modems wifi is fully disabled if the modem has wifi.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.https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite You can find other speed diagnosis steps in the community faq: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/Community-FAQ-My-Orbi-speeds-are-slow-inconsistent-and-don-t-my/m-p/1982974/highlight/true#M7849
