I quite promise that it is indeed 5GHz only. It runs on the upper channels of that band, leaving the lower channels for 5GHz client connectivity. There is no 2.4GHz backhaul whatsoever, as it isn't fast enough (and there's no dedicated radio for it).

If the 2.4GHz is turned off on the base/main Orbi unit will it also turn the 2.4GHz off on the satellite as well?

Is there a way to turn 2.4GHz off manually on the satellite itself?
