Orbi RBR850 / RBS850 – Constant IoT disconnects (Shelly, robot vacuum, etc.)

The reason that Im asking is, that when I initially set this up, it was working great for months. Until suddenly they started dropping constantly.
Correct, I have only one RBS online atm.
I dont see an option to change power for single unit, just change it for 2.4 or 5 GHz.
After factory reset, it is now back to 100% for both.

The power change seen on the RBR is for the entire system, both RBR and RBS. Can try 50% with the RBR and RBS to see if anything changes.
Possible some changes at the SW/FW level on those devices as well on how they handle wifi signals.
