What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What WPA security modes are you using?

 

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

 

Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

    Using Auto on 2.4 and 48 on the 5g the cameras are connecting to the 2.4 I have disable 20/40 coexist to get full bandwith to the cameras I am using WPA2-PSK I cant disable the daisy chaing because i got the router on the top floor and one orbi 1 in the 2nd and orbi 2 in the first so the orbi 2 connects to the orbi 1 which is connected to the Router if I disable daisy chain I am afraid the orbi 2 might not be able to beam straight to the router. I do have about 5 networks in my area all with weak signals. Beamforming and mimo and wmm are enable.

    thanks

      Try setting manual channels 1, 6 ro 11 on 2.4Ghz. 

      What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
