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 wirelessly connected

 

I believe RBS 7 and 8 series are available....

I have about 3,300 sq. ft. and the units are the correct distance apart, but the problem is that we have multiple people doing zoom at the same time, uploading data to 4-5 dozen students simultaneously. I was hoping that getting another satellite to connect my computer to through an ethernet connection would prevent signal instability and increase my upload speeds to accommodate my students; it's not because I dont have good wifi signal strength, but due to having a lot of people I'm streaming to.

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?

 

Can any of your Zoom devices be ethernet connected?
