Anyone else seeing their router and satellites on different channels on the 2.4ghz band on this version of the firmware? I have my RBR set to channel 7 (least used channel in my environment), but my satellites are both on channel 1. The 5ghz ban are all set properly on the chosen channel 44. I have verified on the Wifi Analyzer app, what is displayed is accurate. First time I have seen this issue.
After doing a reboot of the entire system and bringing it back up one by one, everything appears to be stable & working again as expected. It seems like this system needs a couple of days to settle down to where all the devices connect to the closest node.
