Satellite connection to router speed?

I have 2 Satellites, when I look at the router UI, i see that 1 Satellite connects using 2.4G (and sometimes changes to 5G) and the other 1 always connects using 5G. Why would 1 of the keeps changing speeds? Both Satellites are about the same distance away from the router. all of them have the latest fw.

Model: Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi System (RBK50)

It's not just distance that affects the connection.  Any walls, furniture, or other materials in between will affect the signal.  The signal may also be degraded, or enhanced, by bouncing off walls.  Lastly, one sat might be closer to sources of radio frequency energy, that causes more interference for that satellite.
