This is not a traditional attic, it is a half floor, HVAC, etc. No interference up there that would be any different than any other floor of the house. So, ignore the term attic and consider it to be a third floor. Unfortunately, I cannot move the satellite much further or closer given the setup. Both of the phones always connect to the router, which is just down the hall. I tried changing the channels as well, but not much luck. Tomorrow, I am going to double-check and see if I had the same issue or not with my old Netgear 5ghz router.

So do the phones connect to 5Ghz when near the RBS or RBR?
Possible the signal in this area is not good for 5Ghz thus the phones are picking 2.4Ghz. It's up to the phones to pick and choose which signal they connect to.
You can't put the RBS in the bed room or near the bed room?
