What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Has a pull power OFF of the ISP modem/ONT and the RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back ON been performed?
14 feet between the RBR and the 1 RBS is too close. 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
