Does this happen if you turn OFF all RBS?
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 wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using?
What is the current CTS values on the RBR?

One thing I've noticed is our Nvidia Shield device was seeing lots of disconnects and reconnects (every 2-5 minutes) so in the advanced settings I set it to only connect to the 2.4 ghz frequency and it appears to have solved it but I'm obviously called at slower speeds, but I don't need faster on that service

Home is around 4,700 square feet, distance between router and satellite is about 45 feet going through wood/carpet floor, and one wood interior wall with sheetrock and paint. The router is on the west end of the house while the satellite is on the east side. Nvidia shield is about 24 feet on the same level with nothing blocking the device and router and is more west than the RBR750 device, so the signal to the router is better than the satellite model.
I'll do some more testing to see if it has disconnect problems with the satellite turned off.
The Wi-Fi channels are 48 on 5 GHz and 3 on 2.4 GHz, the 2.4 GHz is using 4 channels to the left and to the right. There are a few neighbors with wifi, two near the RBR around 250 feet (so not as strong as signal in my home) and two to the east that are around 120-160 feet away from my RBS device.
CTS Values are 2347 on both networks and on 2.4 GHz I have the transmit power control at 50%

Try channels 1 and 40. 3 should not be set as a primary channel.
