I have checked the modem signal strength, and its perfect.
Its only the wireless devices which have issues, the wired are perfect.
I will try without satellites.

You can also try enabling/disabling:
Fast roaming
Beamforming
daisy chain (unless you're using daisy chain and need it)

I have enabled fast roaming and Beamforming and testing the last days.
It works good when I have only one satellite connected. If I turn one one of the others it becomes unstable, which I dont understand.

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Is Daisy Chain enabled?

Daisy Chain is enabled.
The distance between the router and satellite is 50 feet. - and this setup works witg 5g.
from the satellite there is only about 20 feet to the next satellite which is in the cellar - if I turn it on the problems begins, when it is off it is not the whole cellar which is covered.
the 3.rd satellite is about 30 feet from the router - but in between the router and the one 50 feet away.
The setup has been working perfectly earlier.
