Orbi RBK753S - Devices keep disconnecting and reconnecting

I recently installed the Orbi RBK753S mesh system with one wireless satellite and one backhauled satellite and while my coverage and speeds have increased over my previous setup, I keep getting notifications from my smart devices throughout the day that they are dropping connection and re-connecting within about a minute of dropping.  I'm wondering if this may be due to the satellites passing the devices back and forth between each other or if this may be indicative of a bigger problem?  If it's a case of the former, is there a way to lock devices to a specific satellite so it doesn't get passed around and have intermittent connectivity?
