I was reading somewhere that the satellite connected to router on a dedicated 5G channel.

Router Firmware Version
V2.0.0.74

 

The other devices are connected to the router on 5G channel.

It is working fine. Just wanted to confirm that it is okay for satellite to connect to the router on 2.4G.

 

Thanks,

Rampi

 

FYI,...I just setup my RBR50 & RBS50 system and I see (on ATTACHED DEVICES page on the Router) the Satellite & Router are connected on 5Ghz channel
