The most obvious solution is a masonry drill bit to punch a hole through the wall in an inconspicuous place to use ethernet cable to connect the satellite to the router. There are telnet hacks to turn off individual Orbi radios, but my understanding is that the satellite 2.4G "fallback backhaul" uses the same radio as the front-facing 2.4G service. (but with a 'hidden' SSID)
The Huawei appears to be an awsome device. ($670USD) The feature list suggests expanding coverage by connecting Huawei WiFi access points, but does not mention any specific model numbers.https://consumer.huawei.com/en/routers/5g-cpe-pro-2/
I don't want to drill my wall or use hacks.
then i guess i am stuck with 2.4ghz until i find a better device for penetrating walls, does anyone have a suggestion for a device to replace my RBR20 and RBS20 ?
and thank you for all your replies, and for trying to fix my problem .
Any idea how thick this concret wall is?
I really i'm sorry for taking too long to reply,it is around 1 feet or 10 inches.

You could try using powerline or a moca adapter to hardwire in the RBR to the RBS.
- I can't use the moca adapter because i don't have a cable, i will try the powerline then i will reply with the results.
