RBR850 satellite 5ghz automatically disabled

If your using v5 FW and have done a full factory reset on the RBR and RBS and the RBS continues to disable the wifi radio when it's ethernet connected, it would be a HW problem. Mine have been ethernet connected since I applied v5 FW and no radios are disabled.
NG support needs to look into this one RBS.

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. Even if RBS are ethernet connected.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Yes. I did factory reset many times and tried resync. cannot resolve this problem.

https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 📡Thanks for your reply
My home use CAT6 Lan cable.
And my home have three rooms and each room use one satellite with wired ethernet connect to main orbi.
My home total almost 1200 Sq. one room 277Sq.
So the problem is too much RBS on my house?
Thanks.
