Orbi RBS50 Satellite 2 slow WiFi, no Ethernet
Hi
Yesterday I set up my new Orbi RBS50 Router + 2 Satellite system. It took an age to get up and running, but eventually, it did. I have great speeds via Satellite 1 one floor below my router, but very slow speeds on Satellite 2 two floors down. The app shows ~280mb/s speeds throughout the house, but Speedtest.net shows only ~30mb/s at Satellite 3.
Any advice to get the performance up at the furthest point gratefully received.
Thanks.

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is Daisy Chain enabled Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. How are the satelites placed from the RBR? Star formation linear line out from the RBR.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
