2.3.5.30 is the firmware. And yes, each satellite and router are all at least 30’ from each other. Router is located in the bottom corner of the house, one satellite is in the opposite corner downstairs and the last satellite is upstairs in a bedroom central to all of upstairs.
Try placing the RBR more centrally in on the main floor?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try updating FW as well:

- I have tried updating and there are no more recent updates to download. As far as the router is concerned, I don’t have a way of making it more central in my home due to connectivity.

its not about being more central but it is about having them far enough apart. They need 30ft minimum between them or they won't roam correctly
