No I don't think the rbs40v is connecting to the EAX20 as with it been a mesh system the rbs40v is connected to the rbr50 also in the rbr50 settings it's clearly shows the rbs40v is connected via backhual and connection is good.
I will try and turn off the EAX20 to see if this is causing interference

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?
- JPBOLDYJul 01, 2021StarHi
2.4ghz is on 6
5ghz is on 36
Neighbouring networks are on 1 and 12 - JPBOLDYJul 01, 2021StarAlso in that link of suggested things to enable and disable I've tried that and didn't change anything in some cases made issues worse.

Ok. Thanks for letting us know.
What FW versions are loaded on the RBR50 and RBS40v?
- JPBOLDYJul 01, 2021StarRBR50 is V2.7.2.104
RBS40V is V2.6.2.4_1.0.1
After the firmware was installed a while ago I also did a full reset on both satalite and router using the pin hole on both and setup the system from scratch.
