RBK30 - Very fast when connected to satellite but very slow when connected to main router
I have 100mbps from my cable provider. I have the RBK30 with an additional satellite so two satellites (all have the confirmed latest firmware). One satellite is in the living room and the other is in the detached garage and both have a good signal. When I'm connected to the satellite in the living room or garage, I have 100mbps speeds. However, if I am connected to the main router, I get very slow speeds (less than 2mbps in most cases) and long pings. It doesn't matter if I am 1, 2, or 10 feet away from the main router - always slow speeds. Any thoughts?
