Ethernet Backhaul is freezing up WiFi completely and kicking everyone off (RBR50) & (RBS50)
I have factory reset these both multiple times. I have tried to originally connect them wirelessly, and then shut off the Satellite, and plug it into ethernet, and then turn it back on. This locks up...

Have you tried simply waiting? Recognition of wired backhaul takes minutes, not seconds. It generally takes 5 minutes per satellite for my system to stabilize after starting up each wired satellite one at a time.
One theory is that wiring a satellite causes it to use the same LAN address simultaneously for both wired and wireless interfaces, resulting in the storm you see. But the system eventually figures out that it's wired and shuts off the wireless backhaul. This is just a theory, I don't know whether it's the true explanation.

Ya, I hope NG can get the wired setup connection to be a bit faster. Not sure why it takes so long. I feel ur pain main. What should be no more then an hour setup time, took me about 2 hours to set up my friends system.

And we lost power. Even after 15 minutes can’t get on to WiFi. What a complete piece of garbage.
