Orbi RBR750 Router & 2 Satellites - One Satellite bearing the full load.
I had some troubles with my RBR 750 a week or so and support requested I flash the firmware and then perform a shock reset on the rotuer. This I performed and things seem to be working but I am seeing one of the two satellites is carrying the entire load. All connected devices are going through the one, not the router and not the other satellite. Anything I should be doing to disperse the devices across all three?

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.

Verizon Fios G3100 is the ISP and Router. Orbi Router in AP Mode.
I have not moved those satellites since the troubles began. One is about 50 ft from Router on same floor and the other is about 30 ft from Router one floor above.
Hmm we just lost internet and the Router updated the Wifi/Network name to Admin but with same password. Never seen that before. I am back up.
Does the front LED turn on PINK with this happens on the RBR?
Is the wifi disabled on the host ISP router?
