What is the size of the home in SQ Feet?
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 wired or wirelessly connected.

I'm currently running the latest FW in RBR750 V7.2.7.15_5.1.16 and satellites are in the same version.
Just for additional information, I have reduced the 5Ghz signal from 100% to 50% to have more chances to connect to the nearest satellite, which is not doing it.
House is 1600 sq ft, nearest satellite is 6 ft at max, router is at 26 to 29 ft away from the PS5, I have changed again signal from 50% to 100% and seems is working better, I see it connects more ofter to satellite, but sometimes it connects to router
Can you get the RBS a bit farther away from the RBR.
Also try 25% as well.
