Try disabling AX Mode to see if this changes the behavior...
They are at default except 2.4Ghz AX is disabled.
Disabling 5Ghz AX didn't make a difference when I tried it.
I haven't tried changing CTS for a while but when I have it didn't make a difference and the behaviour was much the same as it is now when I did try it.
The problem with trying these various things is that it was working ok before updating to this firmware.
I have gone through a few of iterations of trying things (before I started posting about what I'm seeing) , including a (couple of) factory reset and re-configure from scratch.
I received my new Orbi RBK852 today and after I had set it up, I manually updated the Satellite and then the Router to firmware 4.6.3.9. Overall no issues experienced other that two items below:
1. While my RBR850 Router shows firmware 4.6.3.9 in the Router Information, it displays V3.2.18.1 in the top right of the browser window.
2. Eventhough I had never switched on the Guest Network, and in the settings it was showing as Off, I could see an unprotected Netgear_Guest showing on my iPhone available WiFi networks. Unfortunately while I have a screen shot of the Router settings to show the Guest Network is switched off, I didn't get a screenshot from my phone showing the unprotected Netgear_Guest network being in the list. I proved it was from this router by renaming the Guest Network to Netgear_Potato and adding WPA2-PSK security, while keeping it switched off, and I saw it listed on my iPhone with a secure symbol.
Unfortunately I can't see it now, but it is a little worrying if I hadn't noticed it that the router was making the Guest Network available.
I have my Orbi connected to the Google Fiber Jack and so far no issues with having removed the Google Fiber Network box.

Be sure to clear out all browser caches.
Try the RBRs web page with a different browser to compare...
Did you power OFF the RBR and RBS for 30 seconds after updating FW?
If you saw this while the RBR was getting to ready, i maybe online for a few seconds then turning back OFF...You might factory reset the RBR and Setup from scratch to see if this clears this...I believe I saw this once as well...I have not seen it again.
