Make sure you didn't disable the 2.4ghz band in the router settings.
I just installed my RBR40 with RBW30 satellite and I'm disappointed that neither the WUI or orbi app shows a seperate list of what's connected to the 2.4ghz & 5ghz bands. My orbi app also shows 2 different firmwares but I thought both devices did an auto firmware update when first installed last week?
I upgraded from a Netgear R6400 to this system. I had to use an extender to boost 2.4ghz signal for my doorbell when using the R6400. The Orbi router has stronger signal by itself and at least connects to the doorbell but adding satellite installed closer to the doorbell gives it the stronger signal for better performance.(no extender being used).
Only problem is I noticed logging into the doorbell WUI through Orbi now lags severely compared to the R6400 used with the EX6150 extender.
