Orbi Satellite Speed 50% of Router Speed

My download speeds, as measured by speedtest.net are about 50% lower when using the satellites as opposed to the base router. Is this normal behavior? Any way to get speeds through satellites?

What speeds UP and Down are you getting at the router?

 

Try ethernet backhaul?

 

What FW version are you using?

There is Beta available.

I did a reboot of the router, then satellites. Seems to have worked and they are now consistent: Upload about 120 mbps, download 12 mbps. Will check further later. Thanks.
