backhaul RBS20 & RBS50

I have a RBR50 router and a RBS50 satellite. I wanted to add an additional satellite and just purchased an RBS20.

 

I now see the RBS20 has a lower backhaul speed than the RBS50.

 

My question is will attaching the RBS20 bring down the backhaul speed across the entire network, i.e. slowdown the backhaul to the RBS50.  Does the entire mesh network work on the basis of the slowest satellite?  Or will it just be the RBR50->RBS20 that goes at the slower backhaul?

 

thanks!

Back haul is the speed rate seen only between the RBS and RBR. 

 

I have a RBS20 connected as well. All works well.

ok so even though it's a mesh network, the backhaul speed between the router and different satellites can be at different speeds?
