Orbi Pro SRR60 network set up. Help please

Hi All,

I am beyond my technical capabilities here, and looking for some advice on the best/correct settings for what my hardware. Below is my current setup, please excuse me if this the wrong way to set it up.
I had a small business which I had to close during the pandemic, but I kept my Orbi setup which consisted of SRR60, and 2 x SRS60. I utilised this setup at my house as per below.
Initial setup:
NBN FTTP to
Orbi SRR60 to
2 x Orbi SRS60
In order to get coverage up to my shed, I then purchased a kit consisting of 1 x SRR60, and 1 x SRS60.
I still have the same initial set up, and have added the SRR60 in AP mode connected via Ethernet from a satellite in my initial setup. The SRR60 is then synced to the SRS60 in my shed.
I initially had the second SRR60 in router mode, and ran identical named and passwords on the SSIDS, and this worked really well, but the speed wasn’t that good, and the shed was then on a completely separate network to the main house. Since I have changed the second SRR60 into AP mode, the speed has increased considerably, but now I am getting regular dropouts, Satellites are constantly disconnecting and syncing to and from the AP SRR60, and the main router SRR60. I am also finding it difficult, almost impossible to add any new wifi devices to the network. My laptop in the shed will not access the internet via Ethernet, or wifi, and the error says: "Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration. Lastly, I’m getting the following error (pic attached) “VLAN overhaul network details not found in network”. This is on all SSID’s on both the AP router, and main router.
Any, and all help would be much appreciated, it’s driving me crazy.

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 

     

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between SRR 📡 and SRS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

     

    Can you turn OFF the 2nd SRR and just run the SRS and does the system work Ok? 

     

    What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
