I do know that while I'm looking at my orbi "attached device" menu, I notice the phone jumping from satellite to router and so forth. This is when I believe it is losing it's registration.
Is there anything I can try or do to have the phone use a specific device? Also, has anyone else had this problem and what do you recommend? Thanks so much.
sounds like you have too much overlap of the wifi as with the orbi router and 2 x sats and the rbw30 thats a whole lot of wifi coverage

My house is just shy of 6,000 sq ft. I know there is some overlap and I did that on purpose so that the satellites would reach all areas.
The router is downstairs in my great room. One satellite is upstairs in my in-laws suit wing which was getting little to no coverage without the satellite. The other satellite is upstairs outside my theater room which is closer to my great room and over my office. This provides coverage to my office, and kids rooms. The 3rd wall plug in is in my bedroom which had 1-2 bars core age without the plug in. Watching Facebook videos would buffer and error without then satellite.
