so the primary unit works fine but the satellite has issues?
correct?
Does the satellite work fine if you tried it with a wired backhaul?

I am having an issue even without the satellite, the WiFi speed drops to a point where it is almost unusable.

In your initial post you post that its fine when by the router/connected to the router.
Now you're saying its not?
Does it work fine connected to the router? (via ethernet)
What speeds do you get hardwired into the router?
- Jimb9999Apr 13, 2021AspirantFrom my previous post: If I run test wired to the router speed Is fine. It is the WiFi that is horrible, I am getting 115 MPs wired and between 2.3-26 wireless.

have you checked the difference from 2.4ghz to 5ghz?
- Jimb9999Apr 14, 2021AspirantI have the same issue with 2.4 and 5ghz devices. At this point I had to buy another router since my wife and daughter are both doing virtual school. I will try working on this on the weekends so I don’t interfere with them.

Did you get your problem resolved?
I am having the same issues.
Connecting to Router with cable: ~800+ mbps
Switching to mesh wifi : Drops to ~120mbps
By the time i move near 3rd satelite it drops to < 40 mbps.
- Jimb9999Jul 25, 2021AspirantAt this point I had to get a different router, now that school is over I will try it again. If it continues I will just use the router I bought.
