I see that FW you have on the RBSY is for Orbi Pro. Possible that this version of FW may not work with Orbi Home version. You may want to load 2.3.5.32 (Orbi Mode for Orbi)

 

Ensure Daisy Chain is enabled on the RBR.

    Thanks - I have gone back to the firmware version you have suggested - but no change!

      What happens if you turn down the power output on the RBRs radios from 100% to say 50%? Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

       

      You may need to move the RBSY farther out from the RBR...

        thanks - I'm afraid reducing the power made no difference. I will give it one more go further away though.
