Is your iphone AX supporting?
Most AC supporting devices max out at 400-500Mpbs on 5ghz AC wireless.

THank you so much for your comment.
You are correct my IPhone does not support AX, but my point is i feel my WIFI numbers should not drop to under 75/75 at the other end of my house when I have the satellite hardwired to the router and it is postioned directly under the bedroom floor in the basement. Also my dining room 43/22, front porch 11/2,??? is this normal or do I need to work at it a little to get it to increase? Maybe buy another satellite?

The distance will cause speeds to drop.
Did you disable the wifi radio on the phone first, then move closer to the RBS, then re-enable the phones wifi radio so it will connect to the RBS? Sometimes phones will keep the connection to the farther signal untill it's force to disconnect then re-connect to find something closer.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cable between the CBR and RBS. CAT6 is recommended.
