RBE970 satellite does not bridge traffic between its own 5 GHz and 6 GHz clients (V12.1.11.15)
System: RBE971 router + 3x RBE970 satellites, all on firmware V12.1.11.15 (no newer firmware offered). Main SSID on 5 GHz + 6 GHz, WPA2-PSK + WPA3-Personal mixed mode, 5 GHz channel 40. IoT SSID is s...
The power cycle did not work ... but donawalt you are still a genius. I ended up doing a full factory reset of the 970, deleting it from the mesh, adding it back in and now the 5 ghz and 6 ghz devices all talk to each like normal devices!!
Thank you so much!
I hunted around to see if I could find another 5 ghz only machine .. my iPad is an m2 so is 6 ghz also. That said I just realized I have a raspberry pi 5 sitting around that I used to use as a pihole/DHCP server.

If that does not connect wireless and connects wired I will retest on another 970 somewhere and also try your channel idea.
I unfortunately do not have wired backhaul but should ;)
Yes have checked the devices and via orbilogin to see match IP addresses / Mac addresses and SSIDs...
I do have that protection engine on.. I do not know what that is actually.
PE is for the RBR on the WAN side. Would not or should not effect devices connected at same RBS.
