Orbi firmware v2.1.1.16 incorrect report device attachment

Question

I have updated 2.1.1.16. I noticed that the device attachment page seems to be ok initially but I noticed my device was likely to more stuck on 2.4 ghz so I turned on fast switching after that everything SEEMS to be connected to the the main Orbi. However I was still getting good signal so I use a wifi scanner app to verify by Mac address to see which Orbi I was really connected to it seems that I was connected to the nearest satellite.

U guys should try it out because so far it seems like cosmetic and incorrect reports but the devices are still connected to the nearest Orbi.

Same here. After a while, router UI reports allmost all devices connected to router but this is not actually the case : devices continue to be connected to the nearest satellite.Furthermore, satellites display no connected device.This lack of visibility is not a pleasant thing but actual system behavior is still normal.

Exactly the same situation here. Also satellites&nbsp;are connected by ethernet and devices that are wireless connected to a satellite get reported to be connected by wire to router......&nbsp;Everything works though....
