Hi folks after preliminary testing, I can say that I believe I have noticed improvement with the new beta firmware V9.12.5.305719_1.3.24. It still has issues handing off the signal to a closer satellite when on the outer range limits. I have to disconnect from the network and reconnect to connect to the closer satellite. I have at least been able to stay connected to the main network instead of only the IoT network. I also get better cell service in the winter and I recently upgraded to att 5 gbps fiber and could explain some of the improvement also. I get about 1.5-2.4gbps down and about 1-1.5gbps up on wifi speed tests if I'm in the same room as satellite or router. I will try a 2.5gbps ethernet to usbc adapter and will look into other 10gbps pcie options for my desktop. I may downgrade the fiber to 2gbps after a month until I can get those speeds on all my devices. I can stay connected to the main wifi network after this last firmware update so I think there has been some improvement. I will keep testing.
