Connection between Router and satelite has changed from 5g to 2,4g all of a sudden.
Hi guys I'm looking for some help with my setup. I live in a 100m2 two story house. My internet backhaul is in the livingroom on the 1st floor while my satelite is located in the hallway on the s...
CrimpOn - So i just tried the telnet thing and got this result:
Radar Detected at [Sun Apr 19 21:50:42 UTC 2020 ] on channels [100,104,108,112]
Radar Detected at [Thu Apr 23 04:09:12 UTC 2020 ] on channels [116,120,124,128]
Would I then try to prevent my setup from using those channels?

The Orbi selects 5G backhaul automatically based on country code. When it detects military or weather radar on a frequency that it has chosen, it is forced to move. In the US, most Orbi's seem to use channels 149-161 for the backhaul connection.
It might help to know which country this Orbi is in.

That makes sense. I'm living in Denmark and the 5G channels I can choose from is 36, 40, 44 and 48.

Thanks. Channels 36, 40, 44, and 48 are the "user facing" 5G channels. Ordinarily the Orbi combines all of them to create an 80 mb wide frequency band to create 866mb of maximum transmission capacity.
This Wikipedia article shows how WiFi channels are regulated in different parts of the world.:

Notice that channels 149-161 that are used for backhaul in the US (Marked "Yes"), the EU has designated "SRD 25mW").
I suspect that the EU has limited output power in the higher band so much that Orbi is designed to use the "radar" bands which allow higher power, but also are forced to "move" when radar is detected.
There is probably a "hack" to force the 5G backhaul to a channel that radar has not been detected on.
One person I have seen on the forum who seems to "really understand" WiFi radios is ekhalil . I think he travels and may not be on the forum as much these days.

I wasn't expecting this to be so difficult to resolve. This really goes beyond what i expected that I had to do to try and fix the problem. I'm kinda in the lost right now because I have no idea if I'm able to fix the problem. If i return the RBK50 and try another system, will that system not have the same issues?
