Connections to Orbi vs Satelite
I am total rookie when it comes to Networking. When I look at the network map on the app, it shows a number of devices connected to the main orbi on main floor and on the satellite upstairs. I have...

Just curious....does your Smart TV work? Are you able to stream movies and such? If so, why worry?
My Smart TV does work but it is Laggy, that is why I started looking into it. Sometimes it just pauses
BTW - the Samrt TV is Samsung - 75" Class - LED - NU8000 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR
I beleive it should connect with 5.0 band and higher rate. The reason I purhcased the Orbi to begin with was so I could stream HD TV easily with good resolution

Did you ever provide your firmware version? Has your network and TV ever worked well?
The TV has worked well in the past, I really never looked to see what band it connects to. It seems every once in a while that changes. I did power cycle both the orbi and the TV. the TV is still just connecting to the 2.4 Ghz Band. I do not know where to check the Firmware version
Try this, Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings, uncheck the "enable 2.4G SSID Broadcast". Save settings and reboot the RBR and TV. See if the TV connects to the 5G frequency and streams better.

...just curious to your thought process here. IF the change is made to force the TV to 5g and it does connect and improves the TV performance, then what? What about the 2.4 side? Does the user operate the network on a single band??
