Ok,
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Can you find out what channels there using? Use a pad and wifi analizer to see what channels your neighbors are using on there wifi systems.
Does the TV see the SSID name from the RBR?
May need to get the RBS connected up. Try this at some point...
The RBS needs to be at the same firmware version as the RBR is using.
What you need to do is factory reset the RBS and RBSY. Wire connect a PC to the 1st satellite. Already have the most current FW version files downloaded on to this PC.
Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minute. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite. it will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites to the RBR.
It looks like my wifi is back up and running on my TV. Not sure what made it talk to the Orbi though.
Thank you for your help today. I greatly appreciate it. Hopefully, the reconfiguations that you recommended have fixed the issue.

Hmm, that makes sence for the two SSID names.
