orbi satellite to satellite connection

What Firmware version is currently loaded? FW same on all Orbi devices? 
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 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

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Hello, My question is with the Orbi satellites and their connection with eachother and the router.  I'm wondering if the satallites get a signal from eachother or just the router. 

This is my current configruation  R -> S1 -> S2 (router on one side of house and S1 one the other side of house with a second satellite upstairs on same side as S1.  The S2 always displays orange because it has synced but only has a fair connection.  The connection between R & S1 has a wired backhaul so connection is good.  

 

I really need S2 to have a good wireless connection so wondering if I need to reconfigure like so:  S1 - > R -> S2 

 

Thanks!
