I have separate SSIDs. I had to physically power cycle the satellite after the upgrade .32 and the router for the .44 release to get the Sat to come back up on 5G and sync properly.

After testing WiFi download speed from both Satellites and Router with latest v44 firmware, the results are pretty close to what I had achieved earlier with v210.  I still got around 370-450Mbps.  I'll accept the pain of reconfiguring all the 2.4GHz devices to look for new unified SSID to avoid having to deal with 'config_sync' madness.
