Hi there,
My setup is router (ethernet) sat1 (wireless) sat2. All devices are on the latest firmware (V2.1.4.16). The router is on the lower floor, the two satellites are on the upper floor.

Starting should be about 30 feet in between depending upon building materials. Your satellites are too close to the router.
Your kind of sq ft, try using only the router centrally placed, it can cover up to about 30 feet radius. Then maybe add 1 satellite.
I would disable Daisy Chain and MIMO on the router as well...
Set manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.

Oh, I did not expect there is a "too close", I'll try to increase the space in-between the devices.
Unfortunately, I need all of my devices.
The router is close to my internet connection and the ethernet connection to the upper floor, sat1 is at the end of that ethernet connection, sat2 is where all my "entertainment" and my file server is and I need the build in copper ports ...
Just having a single WiFi AP would not work either, devices on the other floor will have connection issues (tested with the Orbi Router and another WiFi Router).
