RBR20 with Skype and Facetime
RBR20 with 2 satellites. Motorola surfboard sb6121 modem. Since I got Orbi, Skype and Facetime don't work. I've tried my Windows based pc (which is wired), my wireless mac laptop, my iPad. People can...

Here's an image of what my ports are now. Not sure what I started with and it doesn't list here what is for FaceTime. He worked so quickly that I didn't copy down everything that he changed. Service type is set to port triggering.
He also put me back on daisy chain because of the layout of my house and the stone interior walls. Interestingly, the far satellite currently shows good signal although the closer one shows poor. Both are working fine for my needs though.

I think I understand your questions, let me know if I get it wrong.
I am using both wired and wireless - the pc and laptop and ipad. (backhaul?) I have the same issues on all devices. I can see and hear the person on the other end, they can see me but not hear me. On all 3 devices, on either Facetime or Skype.
Daisy Chain is enabled, that is my setup with my 2 satellites.
WMM and MU-MIMU are both enabled in advanced settings.

You may want to disable daisy chain unless your satellites are to act like a chain (e.g. data goes from router to satellite A and then to satellite B and then to a device). Typically your router would pass data to EITHER satellite A or B and then to a device.
Which configuration do you have? If it is EITHER/OR then disable Daisy chain and test again.
Can you also please tell us what firmware version your router and satellites have?
