Reading of my log
Please explain my chart for me why is there so many zero on my sheet are these restarts ?

1. the lan ones mean something isn't connected and transmitting data on those. Must only have something plugged into lan 1 and 2 (and lan 2 is just 100mbps link)
2. the backhaul tends to imply you're using a wired backhaul or have no satellites since nothings transmitting on them.
3. The 6ghz means you don't have anything connected to 6ghz.
4. Your 0 collisions means there hasn't been any traffic interference (good thing).
Nothing looks bad on that. Its all pretty standard.
FYI, thats you wan/lan port statistics, not the log 🙂

I did the test so right now im right next to one of the satellites it only gives 5ghz when I go down stairs to the main router it switches to 6ghz

Just because it didn't connect to 6ghz, doesn't mean it isn't broadcasting. your device chooses whether to connect to the 5ghz or the 6ghz (or 2.4). something in its settings might be saying to connect to the 5.
You can always install a wifi scanner that detects 6ghz to check to see if its broadcasting.
