What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?
The RBR40 should not have a IP address reservation.
Try powering off the switch and satellites. Power one the switch the power on 1 satellite at a time...

sorry, the router hasnt got a reservation, thats the address allocated to it in the dhcp settings.
I have tried powering the satellites on one at a time, after waiting for the first one to be stable first. even running for a couple of days with just one satellite connected then connecting the other one. again, stable for a indeterminate amount of time because all going down again.
