Be sure that the RBS are connected using the following method with a LAN switch:

The GS108E is a managed switch. If you can find the IGMP and Green Ethernet features on the 108E, disable them to see if this helps any. 

 

Try a NON managed switch to see if this changes the behavior as well. NG GS-105/108v4 and GS308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems.

 

What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
