How many RBS are deployed?

Two satellites showing they are connected and network connection is good
Satelites disconnected after taking the Macbook from wired connection and connecting to wifi
This problem is very erratic. Did not encounter the problem for a couple of weeks and it has returned this weekend 😞
Thanks for taking the time to verify that the Orbi web interface Attached Devices matches the Orbi app in that when the MacBook Pro is connected to Orbi WiFi, both satellites lose their connection to the router.
Questions:
- Where is the MacBook Pro connected when wired?
Router? one of the satellites? one of the switches? - Does the satellite disconnection happen no matter where the MacBook Pro is connected?
- When connecting the MacBook Pro to Orbi WiFi, is the Ethernet cable unplugged before making the WiFi connection?
- Where is the MacBook Pro connected when wired?
