RBS 750 dropping backhaul to 2.4Ghz

Hi,

 

I posted this in Orbi, but was advised to post here as well.

 

I just got my Orbi RBR/RBS 750 today. I have two Satellites. My issue is that Backhaul seams to drop down to 2.4Ghz from 5Ghz. After a power cycle it's at 5Ghz for a good few minutes - enought to make a speed test and see that it is working. Then it just drops to 2.4Ghz and never comes back.

 

I've moved the RBS closer and further away and I haven't seen much difference. This happend to both satalittes but seams to have stopped for one of them for a few hours - now it has however also dropped to 2.4Ghz Backhaul.

 

This is really annoying because it causes a significant speed drop when connected to the RBS on 2.4Ghz backhaul. (goes from 250MBps to 150MBps).

 

Firmware: V3.2.16.22_1.4.9
Placment: Placed in an L shape with the Router in the knee and the Satellites at the ends. Router placed in a server cabinet. Distance has been experimented with - anywhere from 6 to 10 meters - it does not create much difference other than the connection drops to Fair at 10m.
