What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

I am returning these and am going to give the RBK53 a try. No matter what I do with the settings my wifi cameras will work for a short time and then drop connections. We can't use wifi calling at all as the connection is so bad. If the RBK53 does not work then I will give Linksys Velop a try.

I appreciate all the advice given on this post and I can assure you I have tried them all. Nothing seems to be consisent. Just when I think I have it working, an hour later it stops and then I am back to square one.
