This may sound crazy but it worked for me. I am not a router guru so I won't even try to explain this but the solution for me was simple.
I have Orbi RBR850 and 5 RBS850 satellites all running 4.6.3.16_2.0.51. I was having all of the issues noted by others on a couple of the satellites. (Constant rebooting, slow speeds, no clients attaching, dropping internet)
I noticed that the 3 closest to the router (about 30 feet) were not having the constant reboot issue and were accepting clients while remaining stable with good transmission rates. The two I have in the extreme corners of my home (60 feet away from router in opposite direction) were experiencing a constant reboot, low speeds, dropping internet, and not accepting wireless connections. I reset, re-synced both of them and repositioned both of those satellites closer to the router (40 feet) and it resolved all of the issues. Now all 5 satellites are functional. (At least for the past 36 hours). I have since moved them back to their original positions and the system is totally stable.
I posted this under the RBR75? topic as well since it seem to be the same issue with the new firmware.
Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks for letting us know.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy.

Does FURRYe38 or anyone else know when the new FM 4.6.5.14 will be released for RBR850/RBS850? I see it's been released for the 750s this morning and is intended to address many of the issues we've all been experiencing. I know we're all getting pretty desperate.

NG doesn't announce when FW is forth coming. Hopefully soon though. Keep an eye on the NG download page and in here in the forums.
