Rbr760 not a fan of samsung phones
I recently got this orbi kit and my phones seems to never be able to connect to the 5ghz band. I'm using a sg21 ultra and a galaxy a71 both having the same issue.
What OS is loaded on the phones?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Can you disable the AX mode on the RBR?
How is the wifi settings configured on the RBR?
Try setting manual channel 1 on 2.4Ghz and 40 on 5Ghz.
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.

Do they connect on 5Ghz if you turn OFF the RBS?
Tried all those options, even standing directly next to the router with and without the satellite being on, no change

- It's a huawei ont. The wifi is turned off so there's no interference from that side
That would be good however if there is a built in router as well, I presume so if there is wifi, this could cause problems as well. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopTry option #2 first...
