Orbi satellite disable 2.4g automatically
Hi all, I have a set of orbi RBK353 in my house. Someday I found all my IOT with 2.4g equipment are connected to my main router instead of the nearest satellite. So some of my IOT equipment got weak...

Hello!
Didn't set the 2.4G transmission below 100%?
I also had this problem, but with this setting ok:

I received an answer from NG support (but no new FW version):
They advise to change the the 2.4 GHz channel (Basic- Wireless - Channel)
And also change settings via Advanced - Advanced settings - Wireless settings:
2.4GHz:
- Uncheck the 20/40 Mhz coexistance
- Preambule modus : Long
5 GHz:
- Preamble modus: Long
I haven't tried out these settings yet because I did a factory reset on the router 2 days ago and reconfigured it from scratch (no back -up file)
That immediately resolved my issue with the RTSP port forwarding (port 554). And also the 2.4 GHz network has not went down since.
So I will keep everything as it is for the moment.

Thanks for letting us know this. Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
