What wireless devices are you speed testing with? Are they AX supporting?
What MIMO support do they have? Most 2x2 MIMO devices max out at around 300-700Mpbs depending on there design and support. 4x4 MIMO devices can and should see near 900Mpbs or over.
Turn off all RBS before testing wirelessly with the device to ensure it's connected to the RBR.
What happens if you configure the RBR for AP mode and disable the IP pass-thru configuration for the RBR in AP mode?
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
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.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. ️
I'm not sure MIMO support on devices, but the devices I'm using to test are all ax compatible.

The strange thing I don't understand is why I'm getting significantly higher uploads vs. downloads on wifi.
I am testing connected to the main router about arms length away...
I can try to disconnect the satellite to see if there is any change. But nothing has changed on the network (i.e. router/satellite locations, etc) except for noticed lower download speeds vs. upload speeds when connected to main router.
