RBS50v2 satellite stuck on 2.4Ghz.

I did some digging and found out the cause is most likely that the satellite is on a 2.4Ghz channel instead of its dedicated 5Ghz channel.

Perhaps it would be worth confirming this conclusion.  Open a web browser to http://orbilogin.net/debug.htm

When the page opens, check the box: "Enable Telnet"

Open a telnet program and connect to orbilogin.net

(Windows has a telnet clienet that can be enabled from the Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Features on or off.

I use the free program PuTTy.  There are telnet programs for Mac, Apple, and Android)

Enter this command:  satelliteinfo  wifi

The output should look something like this:

root@RBR50:/# satelliteinfo wifi
{
"mac address" : "A0:04:60:xx:xx:xx",
"hop" : "1",
"bridge mac" : "A0:04:60:xx:xx:xx",
"backhaul conntype" : "5GHz",
"backhaul rssi" : "-71",
"backhaul macaddress" : "A0:04:60:xx:xx:xx",
"backhaul phytxrate" : "975",
"backhaul phyrxrate" : "780",
"backhaul parentmac" : "A0:04:60:xx:xx:xx"
}

Notice my Orbi says the backhaul conneciton type is "5GHz" and the transmission/reception rates are 975 and 780.

What does your Orbi report for the backhaul connection?
