I am running the RBK50 with two satellites all on 2.1.1.16 for the last few hours and all the issues that I reported are gone. This one is stable, at least it seems for this hardware.
Op I notice you are running different versions of hardware, including one that does not have newer firmware so that may be contributing to your instability.

I'm running an Orbi system sold by Netgear - RBK30, which includes one router (RBR40) and one Satellite (RBW30). They are a matched set and sold together by Netgear, and both were updated to the current FW available via the FW update process (auto, not manual) from the router.
