model rbr40 satellites. My 2 satellites keep turning magenta.

I have an ORBI RBR 40 with 2 satellites.  My satellites have been turning magenta.  I have tried turning off the satellites and repairing them.  My main unit is working.  I can still get internet on my televisions and computer, but my Ipad, kindle, and phones will not connect to orbi unless I turn off the 2 satellites.

What do I do  (I am 76 years old and need a simple explanation on how to correct this problem.

Thank you

    How far from the router are the satellites? 

    What firmware is on the router and on the satellites?

    How big is the home? 

    What are the interior walls made of?

    Is this a new issue or has this been going on for a while? 

    What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
