ORBI does not deliver
Basically, I have an apartment of 2,300 sf with one RBR 50 and 2 RBS 50. Multiple start overs, syncs, powers on and off and the network works for awhile then doesn’t. I don’t see many posts from 2020 ...

I don’t see many posts from 2020 so I assume this product hasn’t done well. Pretty disappointed in spending so much money on a shoddy product that has very little reach. My previous ASUS router on its own was better than this mess.
I have the same exact system in a 3200+ sq ft home. It works flawlessly. So I'm going to go with user error.
Tell me how you have it setup?
Who is your ISP?
What device is your Orbi router connected to?
Are your satellites wired or wireless?
If wired, what cable size was used, as size determines speed.
Cat 5 10/100 Mbps 100 MHz
Cat 5e 1000 Mbps / 1 Gbps 100 MHz
Cat 6 1000 Mbps / 1 Gbps >250 MHz
Did you reboot your ISP modem/router, before starting the Orbi router install?
Have you changed the network cable connected from the ISP device to your Orbi router?
