What firmware are you on? (for router and satellites)
What modem/gateway are you connecting it to?
If you log into the router through the browser, what does the wireless settings page show?

Ive Hardreset the whole thing ... and Set it up with the Default Settings now it shows up on Different Phones as one Network with 2,4G/5G instead of 2 oh man <_<
Router Firmware is V2.7.3.22
where do i Lookup the Satellite Firmware ?The Wireless Page looks the Same in Basic and Advanced ? 🤔
Seems like it working as intended now? 😅 would be nice to have some more Informations for later Troubleshooting 😅
