5ghz power
Hello,
I am able to adjust the 2.4ghz transmit power on the orbi pro wifi 6 mini AX1800 SXK30, but the 5ghz transmit power is grayed out and not adjustable.
I have the 2 satellites with ethernet backhaul to the router.
My problem is that devices are failing to shift to the closest satellite/router. I have 1 orbi on each level of 5,000sqft home.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Not sure if this changes anything.

That firmware version doesn't change it. Its still grayed out.
I confirmed on mine that its grayed out as well.
I think a couple months ago I brought it to a mod's attention but found out it was set that way and not a bug.
Not sure why.
