Jun 07, 2017Hey TomMac, I am seeing the drop on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz backhaul. I don't know if they serve separate purposes but they both drop constantly at different times. I'm seeing the backhaul on channel 157 and I'm in NA. So with guest network off, there are 4 signals coming from the RBR50.
Someone else said that the 2.4 backhaul is only used as a backup in case the 5 GHz fails. I thought that was interesting and may be related to the speed discrepancies some users see.

hi
the backhaul is only wireless AC on 5 gig , there is no 2.4 gig as far as i know , i think what you will find is the apps just dont like hidden sidd and thats why you are seeing what you are seeing , try transferring a file from one device to another over the orbi router ethernet and sat ethernet , with the router and sat about 10 meters apart you should see 50MB/s and thus proving its a reporting issues and not the transmission its self

I see the unknown on 2.4 and it does reg bottom out, it just that it doesn't appear to do anything to any devices i have on that band... ( unsure purpose ).
Tho my 5ghz side is stable

Here is what I see coming out of the RBR50 and RBS50 with no interference anywhere near.
Light blue: 5 GHz Wi-Fi from router
Green: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi from router (power reduced 25%)
Pink: 2.4 GHz backhaul from router
Orange: 5 GHz backhaul from router
Dark Blue: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi from satellite
Dark red: 5 GHz Wi-Fi from satellite
Also the satellite can be unplugged and the router graph is unchanged.
