I did not know the satellite should be at least 10 meters from the router. This could cause the trouble. The floors are covererd with laminate, buth the walls are from brick/concrete.
that'd be the biggest issue. If the walls are brick concrete, usually the floors are some type of metal/concrete as well.
Concrete and brick are the 2 best blockers of wifi. You might not have a good option for a wireless backhaul because of this. Many resort to a wired backhaul using ethernet, powerline, or moca adapters.
It'd also be why its using the 2.4ghz for backhaul as it penetrates better. Sadly its more sensitive to interference.

Also the router is near to my LED-TV. Perhaps that interferes with the router as well.
So I'll first start to put the satellite in a different room which is further from the router.
