Thanks for the quesitons. I'll get the data and share it when I get back home after the weekend.  The satellites are connected to the orbi directly through ethernet (there are no switches in between).  The switches are connected to the satellites.

Another suggestion would be to setup some IP address reservations for the RBS and your devices. 

I would also make the default IP address pool smaller as well. I set mine to 192.168.#.100 thru.200. Since I only have about 30 devices. Still leaves plenty of room for more and then you have room for static IPs on either side of this pool.
