Satellite Connection at 2.4
According to the orbil log on screen my one satellite is connected on the 2.4G channel. Why?
FWIW, I have owned the Orbi RBR50 for over a year (Running 2.1.4.16). Never saw this with any previ...
Satellites connect to both 2.4G and 5G radios...
Is the satellite working?
Yes. But isn't the 2.4 speed less than 5G? FWIW, this is not an issue with the satellite distance from the main unit. The 2.4G connection occurs even when the satellite is right next to the router.
Yes. However the 2.4Ghz needs to be connected as well to provide 2.4ghz wifi to those devices that don't support 5Ghz wifi.
