Force 5ghz Channel
I have the Orbi + 1 satellite AX4200 RBR750, and none of my 5ghz capable devices will go onto the 5ghz channel I have been struggling with this thing for way too long and it's starting to get rid...
The best you can do is lower the 2.4Ghz transmit power from 100% to 25% via orbilogin.com and Advanced... Advanced... Wireless Settings.
Still, it's odd that your devices are not automatically connecting via 5Ghz. What have you changed from default settings? I haven't modified 2.4Ghz transmit power and I'm using the defaults of CTS/RTS=64 and Preamble=Auto. The only things I've changed are fixed 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels. You might try Auto if you're not using that now and see if it makes a difference for your devices.
