Not all Samsung S25 are supporting WiFi 7. The S25 FE does only support WiFi 6E for example.

Just wondering - if you remove the satellites as a test, do the phones connect at 5 ghz?
If they do, then using a wired backhaul might be a workaround for now.

I am using a wired back haul right now so one of my test was to disconnect the wired made it wireless the satalites connected perfectly. But the phone still wouldn't connect to the 5ghz band.

This is what I had expected - since (as stated in my post) that the S25 FE does only support 6e, like your S23,
Once you mentioned a decent Google Pixel phone from what I remember - bear with me I've somehow lost track in this lengthy thread. Same issue on the Pixel not able to connect properly,^with full Orbi capabilities, so beyond 2.4, also 5 and 6 GHz.
On a different point, somebody talked of MLO. To my knowledge, Netgear in the co-operation with the chipset vendor, does -not- support MLO, certaily not on the client facing WiFi side. I don't know if and how this applies to the wireless backhaul.
In my earlier test experience of the Netgear WBE7xx devices, I have never spotted that the wireless MLE operation or connections.
