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.

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?
