Is Daisy Chain enabled on the RBR? Try disabling it.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
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?

I checked the recommended settings above but nothing helps.
I've installed several Orbi systems and never experienced the 2.4 backhaul. I'm not saying it can't happen, but if moving closer to a satellite or router does not help, I suggest contacting Netgear support. Did you purchase new?
