Orbi RBR50 Working Strange?

FURRYe38 , all sats and router are on V2.7.3.22.
Home is roughly 2900sq feet. Sat 1 is about 45' away in the garage. Router is in center of home and sat 2 is roughly 20' away. Both sats are hardwired though, so not sure that matters right? All are on the same level of the house (ground floor).

20 feet is too close, wired or wireless.
Are the RBS directly connected to the back of the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between?
- donalcombrightOct 15, 2021GuideSo having the satellite less than 30’ would cause those issues? That doesn’t seem to make much sense. It also worked seemingly fine for 4 months until recently.
I have a switch between the router and sats, the same switch for both.- FURRYe38Oct 15, 2021Guru - Experienced User
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
