Wifi drop

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

Any Wifi Neighbors using same channels?

If you turn OFF the RBS and RBW leaving just the RBR wifi running, do you still experience this wifi drop?

I am having Wi-Fi dropouts with my Orbi configuration. I have the following setup:

 

- RBR40 router in AccessPoint mode

- RBW30 Wall Sattelite with 5G backhaul

- RBS20 Sattelite with wired backhaul

 

I have done some reserach in this forum as well as google. I tried the following steps but they did not help:

-Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO. 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).

-Rebooting by unplug for 5 minutes and turn off the power button on the router.

- Changing the Transmit Power Control to 75%

- Change Preamable Mode to Long Preamable

 

I work in IT so I als enabled telnet to change the 5G Wifi SSID but that didn't help. I have no clue to as why my WiFi on my phone is dropping. Please help!
