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 RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
Using ISP detected DNS on the RBR or custom DNS? Try custom like Cloudfare or Quad9
Try the Orbi system in AP mode?
Static IP Address Configuration for AP Mode | NETGEAR Communities
Disable IP pass thru on the ISP router if you try this.
