How are the RBS ethernet connected to the RBR? Directly behind the RBR in parallel or is one RBS connected to the other RBS?&nbsp;
Any LAN switches in between the RBS and RBR? Brand and model please if present.
&nbsp;
Ethernet connected RBS should be connected using one of the following methods:

Running the latest firmware think im using cat 5, no switch is involve.

CAT5 isn't rated for 1000Mb.100Mb, CAT5e is. However since the ports support speeds beyond 1Gb, It's recommended to use CAT6A STP cabling.&nbsp;

My speeds are nowhere 1gb I only have 250mbps internet so I don't think my cat 5 should be an issue&nbsp;

So I plugged them all out but before I did I notice the third satellite that was slower has a different connection id from the other satellite, when I do wireless they have the same id, I think that might be where the issue is coming from&nbsp;
