What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance? Besire ALL wifi on the modem is fully disabled.
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since the FW update?

ISP router is a mitrastar, Movistar, 600Mbps symetric.
All wifi of this ISP router-modem is disabled, yes.
I have change the channel of the 2.4GHz and in 5GHz too, I have tested it and same results.
My neighborhood has 10-15 wifi network.
I have enabled and disabled exactly the wifi advanced options you mention, same results.
I need to connect it with wire, if wire works, I don’t mind trying to understand why wifi connection between RBR and RBS doesn’t work, really, is a 65m2 apartment!!!
I can’t believe it, trust me
Kind regards
