Orbi 370 Satellite Speed is bad
I thought I was upgrading from my RBR50 and 1 satellite that died by getting the Orbi 370 and 1 satellite. Wow was I wrong. I have 500 speed fiber. Wireless that sees the router gets great speed, ...
The RBE370 is the most base model system without a dedicated backhaul. The RBK50 was the flagship at its time. Thats why. To see faster peak speeds, you'd need to upgrade more.
I'd take a look at Dong Ngo's review of wifi 7 mesh systems. Take a look at the performances and expectations as well as price. Then choose.

He does review the lower end systems too so its worth checking those out if you're on more of a budget.
Thanks for the link. When I read the features for the 370 it says it has enhanced backhaul (MLO). Are you saying it doesn't have a dedicated backhaul to connect the satellite to the router? I can't figure out if any other similar priced set up has a dedicated backhaul.
Are you saying it doesn't have a dedicated backhaul to connect the satellite to the router?
It does not.
FWIW, high-end WiFi 7 routers have three client bands - 2.4 ghz, 5 ghz, and 6 ghz. They are trending away from a dedicated backhaul network, since the extra 6 ghz band adds enough bandwidth to allow running the backhaul over the same radios.
Is the backhaul to your satellite using 5 Ghz? Also, do you know what band the client is connecting with?
