MR60 Internet fails at my brothers Satellite when i need a lot of bandwith

So I got the MK63 (MR60 Mesh system with two satellites) where I have one in my room and the same thing with my brother. Now the problem we have is when I Need some Data (downloading games f.e.) the Internet of my brother goes to sh*t.

I have a few ideas of what causes that, but I'm not really sure.

I do believe that my brothers Satellite is connected to the router over my Satellite (see picture) which then somewhat seconds him if I need speed. QoS is enabled and Speed measured.

 

PS. My Satellite is much closer to my router than my brothers is.

    how far from the router is the satellites? They need a minimum distance of 30ft. 

    You currently have them daisy chained meaning going 

    router----->satellite------>satellite. 

     

    A triband mesh system tolerates daisy chaining much more than a dual band system because it has a dedicated wireless backhaul. The dual bands don't. 

    Have you tried disabling daisy chaining?
