Firmware upgrade capped satellite bandwidth at 50Mbps
Checked for firmware update via Orbi web interface, showed everything current. Visited Netgear CBK40 download page, showed new firmware for the RBS20 (two newer versions). Both updates related to se...
As you can see, my CBK42 is showing only one 2.4 channel, not 2 like your is, and that was after a full factory reset.
Also -- how did you get to an RBS20 screen that shows CPU loading. I have no such display on mine. You must have a newer hardware version.
Those screen are taken from the RBS web page and the RBS debug page. All RBS and orbi systems have this info.
My system is circa 2017.

I would avoid using channel 3. Channels 1, 6 or 11 are primary channels to use on the CBR for 2.4Ghz.
I'm thinking since the CBRs FW version is v.2.3x and the RBS is v2.7x, there maybe some inconstancies being experiences. From what I know for historical information and experiences, the RBS FW should be on same level as the CBRs. There maybe major changes down in the drivers between v2.3x and v2.7x so this maybe one area that's causing problems. I've asked NG to look at this as well.
I also factory reset my entire system and setup from scratch and did not load any saved config from file. Again, asked NG to look into this as well.
All I can do. This is in NG ball park now.
Sorry - no Orbi debug page on my kit. Can you be very specific what the URL is you are showing?
And according to my RBS and CBR status screens -- I have only ONE 2.4GHz channel working. Odd that the CBR and RBS do not agree on the bandwidth: CBR says 300M, RBS says 400M. Great software consistency.
FYI, this issue has been re-submitted to NG for review.
In mean time, you'll need to factory reset and setup from scratch and walk thru the setup wizard and be sure to set the setup wizard re-add the RBS20 to the system, then complete the setup wizard to regain the speed seen behind the RBS20. Do not change the transmit power on the CBR40 or you'll see the problem again.
The first picture is taken from the CBRs Connected Clients page. The 2nd picture is from the RBS web page. The 3rd picture is from the CBRs debug page. All of these are standard across Orbi systems.
