RBS50 wired backhaul shown as 5G/2.4G in AP Mode

Here is my setup: Internet ---WAN---> X4S R7800 (Router/Gateway)-- LAN#1 ->  RBR50 LAN#1 (AP mode)                                                 |                                            ...

Have you tried connecting the RBS50 to one of the LAN ports on the RBR50, rather than to the R7800?

    it would be very difficult to test that in my case. (realy hard to move the RBS). but why that matters?

      Well, sorry.  My Orbi WiFi is located right next to my modem, so I just assumed that your Orbi was right next to the R7800 and that it would be a simple matter of moving the cable.  So, those "LANs" are switches located in different areas away from the R7800?
