You might try changing the configuration to daisy chain the 2nd Satellite off the first one, instead of both connected to the same switch and see if this changes anything. Don't enable Daisy Chain on the router. Just see if adding the 2nd Sat to the back of the 1st Sat does anything different. I would also just as a quick test, take the switch out of the mix and directly connect both to the Orbi router. See if anything seen is different.
I have this similar network configuration. There is 2 unmanaged switched between my 1 satellite and the router. I don't have a 2nd Sat at this time so I can't test this with you.
Is this your switches?

I'll give that a try -- although this is one of those things where (this time!) I didn't change anything. There was a change within Orbi that made bridging different. I just am not sure what changed.
And yes, those are managed switches -- but like I said the configs are both factory default with no changes.
Thanks for the help!
