This is probably caused by the Satellite connectivity issues introduced in v2.3.1.60 as well as 2.3.5.30. I used to do the following to get around this issue:
- Switch off the both Satellite
- Go to Attached Devices in the web GUI and click on the "Disconnect" button beside both Satellites.
- Turn on the first Satellite and use a paper clip to factory reset the Satellite
- When the Satellite is up after factory reset, press the Sync button on the Satellite and then press Sync button on the Router
- When the Satellite is added after this procedure it should behave correctly.
- Repeat the same (Steps 3-4 above) for the second Satellite.
Good luck!

You have two options:
- Bridge the Sagemcom router. Look in the manual for something like QuickBridge or similar and follow instructions.
- Keep the Sagemcom as your main router nad set Orbi into AP mode. You can do this in the web GUI under >> ADVANCED >> Advanced >> Router / AP Mode
