Connecting RBS50 satellite to RBR50 router with ethernet cable
I only noticed this recently that even though my Orbi RBS50 Satelliet is connected to my RBR50 router over an ethernet cable, the attachd deviced still shows is connected via 5G. I have tried restart...

You might need to do the following:
You need to update the RBS before updating the RBR. Keep this in mind for future updates.
What you need to do is factory reset the RBS. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites to the RBR.
Thanks for the advice. I have checked the version of my RBR and RBS, both have the samve version and both are up to date. If i do a factory reset, will the firmware stay to be the latest or i have to update again?
Yes. FW remains.

Even doing a factory reset on the satellite also says connected with 5G or 2.4G and not wired. Wired only showed up a few time but it eventually went back to wireless. I wonder if it is hardware issue?
Probably a HW issue if it's not keeping the ethernet connection.
