Poor Speeds on Additional Satellite from Second Orbi Kit

I purchased a second Orbi RBK50 system to only use the satellite as an additional satellite to my existing Orbi RBR50 system. I am getting speeds of over 150 Mb/s on the original satellite, but only a speed of 50 Mb/s on the new Orbi satellite from the second kit. The new Orbi satellite is even closer to the router as the first satellite. I just want to make sure that I can use the satellite from a second Orbi kit as an additional satellite. 

Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

Hello Dws1967


You can use it I suggest testing by moving it to another location even though it may be closer to the main unit walls, other wifi and appliances can still affect it more. Also make sure all units are on the latest firmware 1.12.0.18
