Orbi RBS50 intermittent ethernet port drops
It appears that my one RBS50 is dropping ethernet connectivity intermittently. I am running out of ideas to try and fix this. The problem: Randomly, network connection to devices wired via patch ...
Since I posted this I found: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/FRUSTRATED-WITH-MY-ORBI-RBR50v2-AND-RBS50-s-Keeps-dropping/m-p/2035157#M110834
This seems to be what I am also finding.
As for your questions:
1) I believe so. I wired to two ports for a test and both dropped at exactly the same time.
2) Wireless. I have no way to test wired.
3) Nope, sadly not and buying another satellite costs almost as much as a three pack!!!!!!

Note that the ultimate cause in that thread turned out to be a misbehaving wired device (FireTV recast) causing network connectivity issues to other devices wired to that same satellite.
So in your case, how many and what are the device types for what you have wired to your misbehaving satellite?
