WiFi Speeds will drop with distances of the RBS from the RBR. Nature of the beast.
Also this is just a dual band MESH system with not dedicated backhaul so performances will not be spectacular. The 50 series has a dedicated BH as other 750, 850 and 960 and beyond systems also have.

Furry, the 760 is tri-band with a dedicated backhaul.
If you get good WiFi speeds from the RBR, then I would suggest to start with a single satellite, make sure if is connected with 5GHz to the RBR (check the "Attached Devices" page and the "Show Statistics" under "WLAN Backhaul"). Even if only temporary, I'd also suggest to try with a wired backhaul to see if that solves the problem.

I stand corrected. Yes it is a tri band system:

Not really sure what im looking for- User763Oct 29, 2024Aspirant
If you go to the "Attached Devices" from the start page it should show the "Connection Type" for your Satellite as 5G. I suspect that is not the case.
Under "Advanced" and "Show Statistics" I see the "WLAN Backhaul" identified as "2401M", same as the 5G WLAN. Your screenshot seems to suggest that the wireless backhaul is operating in one of the 2.4G modes.
