The device in question will show full connectivity, but will not have internet access of any kind. The situation is usually resolved on its own in time, but the reliability of the network is atrocious.
Family uses: iphone X (2), ipad pro (2), imac (late 2009), and macbook pro (early 2017). All on newest OS.
RBR50 set to AP mode. Hard wired to Verizon Fios router (which is not broadcasting its own SSIDs). The three satellites are all placed throughtout home and all have GOOD back haul status. They are not daisy chained. All devices on 2.1.2.18.

thanks for the feedback all.
i'll try beamforming again.
and fyi, i used wiring in my home to set up an ethernet backhaul.
so verizon router to orbi router (AP mode) then direct connection to each satellite using cat5e wired through home.
I'm not using Ethernet backhaul on my system.
NETGEAR acknowledged issues with v2.1.2.18 and is wokring on a fix. If none of the suggestions help, you might need to downgrade to v2.0 and revert to wireless backhaul until a fix is released.
Let us know how it goes. I'm using Beamforming now and Wired back haul. All is working for me with my Apple devices.

appreciate the input all.
i'm using a verizon g1100, for those that asked.
i don't know, could be my imagination but the wired backhaul (direct connection from each orbi satellite to orbi router) seems to have improved matters significantly
