Modem = Netgear CM1000
Home is 3,000 sq. feet
Satellites are both at least 30 feet away from the modem.

Last time I check, the speed test in orbi app and on RBRs web page worked for me.
If you haven't reset since last update, lets try that on the RBRs web page under Advanced Tab/Administration/Backup with a wired PC and web browser. Then power OFF the ISP modem for 30 seconds then back ON. Walk thru the setup wizard. No need to add the RBS during this. After you complete the setup wizard, go into the QoS section first and run a speed test there.
