OK wifi but horrible Ethernet connection
So I just got a RBS40V from work to put on my network which entails 1 RBR50 and 1 satelite RBS50. My wifi seems to be great, I have a gig through Frontier (fiber) coming in and I get 700+ on the other side of the house with my iphone. The house is 2600 sqft, and the Router is on one end while the RBS40V is on the other. The RBS50 is in the middle but not in a direct line, each satelite I believe is more than 30 ft apart.
My question or issue is I have my Gaming computer hardline Cat5 to the RBS40V and the MBS is horrid 150-170.
Could this be the settings?
Too many wifi things connected to it? (if this is the case I would want to know to fix it lol)
Interference?
Connected work laptop to each device

PS4 is being played as well as an ipad and downstairs TV

I just had to un daisy chain becuase it quit working all together.
Also I noticed the only way I get those 700+ numbers are on the orbi app speed test. Fast and Speak easy are more like 130.
Ideas?
What other info would you need.
Thank you in advance
Cheers

Also from reading the forums is it possible to put the RBS40V in AP mode and would that help ?

Update :
So if I eliminate the RBS40V from the network I jump 100mbs to 270mbs.
I also realized I have a Cat5 cable from the modem to the router, I have Cat8 on order now for that.
Will report back when I have the proper cable from modem to router.
