RBR850 with RBS850 Satellites (4)
Hello, I have RBR850 and (4) RBS850 .. 6500 Sq ft house
ATT -1 Gig fiber into the house
I am not using the router provided by ATT, I have created a bridge and use the Orbi as router.
The 1 Gig into the house and Orbi Router is fine, However I am lucky if I get 100MB within the separate rooms of the house on wifi
We also get intermitment outages / very slow speed (even in room where the satellite are in front of all devices)
Any help would be appreciated. I have escalated to level 1 and its a finger pointing exercise vs. fixing the issue
Thanks

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Make sure the ISP modems wifi is fully disabled if the modem has wifi.
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.

A layout or drawing of where the system is placed would be more helpful so we can see where there located with in the home.

So by the looks you have RBS#4 right under the RBR...This would not be good.

Yes. Around 30 feet is needed in between the RBR and any RBS and from RBS to RBS as well.
