Backhaul on 2,4 ghz
Since this week my Orbi RBR50 with 2 satellites have a strange thing.
1 satellite has a backhaul of 5 ghz en satellite number 2 just 2,4.
I have this set now almost 4 months and it always works with a backhaul of 5 ghz.
I just rebooted everything en manually sync,
See my picture for my problem, any help is welcome!

This appears to indicate that satellite two is not able to get a good connection with the router at 5G and has changed to 2,4G to get a better connection. Radio signals are very sensitive to building materials and distances. Are you positive that "nothing has changed" about the placement of the equipment or anything in between the units? Sometimes even a small change in position or orientation can make a difference.
Thnx for your answer, no nothing has changed in all those months.

Could be radio interference from other WIFI networks to. Check to see what WIFI networks are close to you.
Ok, thnx, is there a way to change that backhaul channell to a different channel?
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
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?
