20 feet is too close between the RBR and RBS. 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-router
Has a power OFF of the RBR and RBS for 30 seconds since last FW update been performed?
Don't remember if the there has been a 30 s outage.
Did tried to increase the distanse to increase the distance further, had to put it on the other side of a wall and with that the connect breaks altogether.
Not sure what is the issue.

The current official version is 2.5.1.16. I'm not sure if this may be your problem, but it's possible.
You can get the files by typing in your model on this NG download website:

Check the following settings as well:
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Set Short preamble mode, Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, MU-MIMO. Save settings, reboot Orbi.
