IP Assignment Issues -- tied to SSID in some odd way? At a loss.. (RBR750)
Ok folks -- back again. I was previously here with the same issue (see: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/IP-assignment-issue-Devices-not-connecting/m-p/2015929#M108102) but here it is... L...

What Firmware version is currently loaded? V4.6.5.14_2.0.54
FW same version on RBS as whats loaded on the RBR? Yes
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Netgear CM700
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update? I changed the name of the SSID and went through my home and reconnected all of the devices. TBH, I'm terrified to power cycle the system as I've spent 10+ hours diagnosing and reconnecting everything over the last day of so. The sequence mentioned in your post is the sequence I utilized to attempt to have devices reconnect/get an IP address and it failed. I repeated this process at least 5 times before moving on to other actions.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? 4500 sqft
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? RBR to RBS1 is roughly 30 ft (RBS1 is outdoors on covered patio). RBR to RBS2 is likely closer to 60-70ft. RBS2 is on a floor above RBR, and on the opposite side of the house.
What channels are you using? 2.4ghz is set to Auto and 5ghz is set to 48. I have never changed these.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many? Sitting at the front of the house, I can see at least 3 other networks. I would say there are at least 5 detectable networks depending on where I'm at in the house.
Try disabling Armor: I will try, but this issue existed on my RBR50 previously and that did not have the Armor service. I'm not sure this will do anything.

Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 channel on 5Ghz.
Also try Setting CTS to 2347 and disable AX mode on 2.4Ghz on the RBR.
I would also change the default IP address pool size to 192.168.1.100 to .200 on the RBR. Save the setting and reboot the RBR.
You'll need to power cycle your devices as well if you try this.
If this happened on the prior Orbi system, makes me wonder if there is something on your network causing this.
Also having 150 devices online, maybe another factor...
