New 770 series coverage

Disappointed with the coverage of my new 770 series system . I bought it to replace an AC3000 series that had gone to no support. 
The new Router and satellites are in exactly the same position as the older units but the extent of coverage is less.

    How are you determining the new system has less coverage? 

    What kinds of devices do you have connected? 

     

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? 
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 

     

    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 wired or wirelessly connected.
