Depending on Mfr support of 2.4Ghz devices, connection rates and channel width, speeds on the IoT network won't be the same as the main WLAN or compared to 5Ghz.
Most IoT devices don't have high connection rates and mostly support 20Mhz channel width, maybe some on 40Mhz.
Noticed that most Apple devices have a max connection rate between 190 and 230Mbps on 2.4Ghz at 20Mhz channel width. So speeds seen will be slow.
I just tested a Intel AX210 on 2.4Ghz IoT and forcing it to preferred 2.4Ghz on AX mode on 2.4Ghz IoT, max connection rate seen was 280Mbps.
What your seeing on your Samsung would be around the norm for 2.4Ghz.

For that size of home, the RBR would be only needed. Having the RBS maybe causing problems with too much wifi signal overlap and saturation in that size of home.
