What version of firmware do you have installed on the RBR50 and any RBS50 satellites? Firmware v2.5.1.8 is the latest version, available from https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK53.aspx#download

If you are running v2.5.0.x firmware, it was very buggy and unstable and retracted by NG. You should manually update to v2.5.1.8 if you are running v2.5.0.x.

  If you do update, be sure to update the RBS first then the RBR lastly.
