30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
The one RBS that drops connections, can you move it to or swap with one of the other RBS and see if the problem follows? Place one of the other RBS in place of the problem RBS to see if it does the same thing.
