I had the same problem. The way I fixed it was to reset to factory defaults and set up from scratch.

Are your satellites switching like they did before the update? The signal is way stronger from the router now which is why I think my devices aren't switching like they use to. The problem is if I turn down my transmit power to 50% for 5g then my devices connect to the 2.4g band because its stronger.

I would try with the router alone first and check signal and connections...The size of your home maybe too small for having the base router and satellites all running.
Let us know.

Thanks for the suggestion to reset the rounter and set it up again from scratch. That also resolved my issue with devices not swithing to the satellite sfter updating firmware to version 2.2.1.210. I did see some devices on the satallite once in awhile, and those were idenitified with unknown for connection type. That also has been resolved by the reset.
