RBK40 vs RBK50V vs RBR753

Yes, the RBK43S from Best Buy 1RBR + 2 RBS40's. The router is located near the front of the house on the top floor close to where the ONT is connected from the exterior. I have one satellite placed halfway down the length of the house from the router on the same floor and the other satellite is placed towards the back of the downstairs approximately the same distance from the second. The overall dimensions of the flat is approximately 58' length by 25' width from the exterior. We don't really use any wifi/internet in the garage portion of the downstairs so the living space would be approximately 2,200 sqft. Some of the wired devices are Cat5 or Cat6 cables. Most of those devices don't seem to experience issues as much as the Wifi enabled devices. Nest Cameras and Smart TVs or ROKU/APPLE TV devices that are not necessary for use when working, I have switched off in the Orbi App so they do not take any WiFi. I will walk through the recommendations you have set below and report back. Thanks.

Also change out any Cat5 cable you have and replace with at least Cat5e.

Most of my cables are CAT 6, one CAT5e and only CAT5 to a printer I seldom use. I found a CAT 5e cable in the closet and swapped it out.

I also turned off the traffic meter and I don't know where the "logs" are.
