Can you be more specific? What is your box?
Are the satellites wired or wireless?
the box is a box of Orange in france on fiber.
the satellites are in wireless.
The TV and the decoder TV are link by RJ45 to the last satellite.

I'm assuming since it's fiber the box is either an ONT or a router? You could plug the Orbi Router directly to the box, but plug everything else after the box, so the Orbi router handles all DHCP networking.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
IWhat is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more 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-routerTry disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).One User Experience/Configuration:
