RBR350 - sometimes Samsung phone won't connect to main network

Hi Guys,

Have the Orbi system set up with 2 satellites.

Have a Samsung Fold 4 smart phone.

At times (like now) the phone cannot connect to the main wifi network, but will connect to the guest network. I click on main network and sits there saying connecting ....

Have tried rebooting everything, ensuring all devices have latest firmware, delete network from phone, etc

When I connect via guest network, load orbit app, look at devices, I can see my phone in the guest network, but listed under 'unknown connection'.. that is, orbit can't tell if connected by 2.4g or 5g!!

Then at some random time, I will be able to connect to the main network, and everything will be fine for weeks.

Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
