What FW is currently loaded?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials. I use just the base router and just 1 satellite in a 5000sq ft home. 40 feet in between the base and satellite. No issues.
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Set up IP address reservations for each satellite and devices on the router as you add them to the router.
So you replaced the older RBK50 system with the newer system?
