RBR40 Main Router not broadcasting 5Ghz Network
Hi, My main RBR40 Router is not broadcasting 5Ghz Network at all. I have checked with Wi-FI Analyzer app and Router is not broadbasting 5 Ghz Network at all while Satelitte is broadcasting the networ...
I have a similar setup and issue but my RBR50 is on V2.7.2.104.
A satellite 35 feet away on another floor is on 5G at 200 Mbps. When I turn off the satellite the main router cranks out <80 Mbps from two feet away.
This is definitely a router not doing its 5G job. How can I turn on the router's 5G antenna?
I used to love my Orbi.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
What devices are you using to speed test with?
Check the connection rate between the wifi device and RBR with wifisweet spots app on the device.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Thank you for the prompt response!
I do not have time for a factory reset today but will do it soon and post back with the results and other information.
