It sounds like your satellite may be too far from the router. How far are they appart? Depending on building materials of your house, try having them about 30 feet (10 meters) apart.
my router is literally in the next room.
And what materials are the walls?
5ghz can't penetrate as much material or certain materials.
concrete, but my huawei 5g cpe pro 2 can penetrate it and it is what i am connecting my orbi to.
1. Concrete is literally the material (other than straight metal) that blocks wifi the best.
2. the huawei 5g cpe pro 2 is a wireless AX router. Not a AC device
3. the orbi uses the better connection. 5ghz doesn't passthrough materials as well as 2.4ghz. yes the 5ghz might passthrough but if the 2.4ghz is faster, its going to use that one
