What FW is loaded on the RBR?
Any RBS deployed? If so, how many?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
On new FW, there is options to get devices ON 5Ghz on Orbi 8 series systems.
However it is up to client device to connect to either frequency based on design and support. Be sure your device supports 5Ghz. Most 5Ghz supporting devices usually pick 5Ghz first thing when connected if 5Ghz signal is present. Could fall back to 2.4Ghz if something is not working right or not configured right.
