Hey,
Thanks for your reply mate
So in terms of firmware, they are all on the latest update which is V6.3.8.5
Im not sure exactly the size of the house, but its a small 2 bed house on a terraced street, so as you can imagine there are quite a few networks surrounding
The distance between router and satellite is around 32 feet
I haven’t actually tried using the virgin router in modem mode, that will probably be my next test!
The only confusing thing is that it worked absolutely fine on my older RBR50 setup, i dont understand how the performance is so much worse on a newer system?

If you can get a size in sq ft, would be good to know this.

Try bringing all RBS to near or same room as the RBR and take note of the WLAN Backhaul speeds seen at the RBR.
Also try swapping RBS with each other to see if problem follows or remains at the remote location.

Definitely give this try as the ISP router has wifi built in and either needs to be disabled or ISP router but in to modem only mode.
