Ok so I have a Rbk853 ( 1rbr 2 rbs ) hardwired backhaul I also have 1 rbs50 which is hooked up hardwired backhaul. The problem is I'm right next to the rbs50 but everything will connect to the rbs850 even in far location it will use 2.4 and avoid the rbs50 2 feet away. This happens with all devices even ones with without wifi 6 support??? What is going on? Maybe Netgear was right they don’t work or work well together? Cant wait to purchase the rbs850 and switch this out

Have you ever had anyone talk too loud to you when they are too close? You cant understand what they are trying to say.
That may be what is going on in your case. You can try and go into advanced and wireless settings and turn down the power output to see if that will allow the close device to connect.
