Hello! After seeing a couple buffering issues on the 5GHz channel I checked for interference and found quite a bit. When I went to change the channel I found that the 2.4 GHz could be changed but the 5 was greyed out and would not allow any change. Has anyone else seen this? Any help is much appreciated!
You are correct. The RBR10 model is "different". It is a "dual channel" device rather than a "tri channel" device. The 5G channel is set to 108 or 157 and cannot be changed. See page 26 of the RBR10 User Manual:

(also page 130).
5 GHz back haul and front haul:•Channel157 for NA,PR,AU,CA,and TW•Channel108 for EU, KO, and IN
I have absolutely no idea how Netgear determined that this, but that's what the manual says.
