Satellite stopped doing 2.4 GHz
1 of my 2 RBS850 satellites suddenly stopped accepting 2.4 GHz connections, only 5 GHz works.
What 2.4Ghz devices are you using?
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?
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.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Mostly Rowenta Intense Pure Air Connect XL air purifiers and TP-Link HS110 smart Wi-Fi plugs.
V3.2.16.22_1.4.9.
MEO FiberGateway GR241AG.
~271 m2.
~5 m.

Your ONT has built in router and wifi already.
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=desktop~271 m2.

I know, Wi-Fi is disabled and Orbi is in AP mode.

Already did.

Not the issue, different floors and other satellite works fine in same spot.
