Hey man, I did couple of factory reset via GUI and it does not help but I tried to power down all my satellites and connect only the router and use a paper clip to do a factory reset via the hardware button. Then setup all over again and add the satellites one by one (both of them did a factory reset via hardware button as well)

Thanks for the heads up, I will post over there.
I tried Chrome(PC/MAC), Edge(PC), Safari(Mac)
result is all the same, I even cleared browser cookie, cache and disable all extensions including adblock to try.
