What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
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 wirelessly connected.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Have you disabled AX mode on 2.4Ghz?
Also try using manual channels 11 and 48.
Set CTS to 2347. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Has a full facory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
Others have mentioned a reset has helped them. You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well.

2000sqft.
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 wirelessly connected.Tested with more and less than 30 ft. No difference.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
No close neighbors on 5GHz.
Have you disabled AX mode on 2.4Ghz?
Yes. I noticed after changing this my PCs will no longer connect on 5GHz. What could cause that? I rolled it back and noticed my computers will still only connect over 2.4GHz.
Also try using manual channels 11 and 48.
The only 5GHz channels I have are 36, 40, 44, 48.
Set CTS to 2347. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
No impact.
Has a full facory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
Yes.
