Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
For that size of home, having too many RBS deployed could cause problems. Something to try, Turn down the power on the RBR from 100% to 50% and see. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Turn OFF one RBS to see if issues are still seen.
Might try manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
Been posts about v.31 not working well for users after it's loaded. May need to go back to prior working FW version.

RBS = Satellites.
Having too small of a home size with too many RBS deployed and cause wifi signal problems or too much wifi signal over lap between the units.
Has this system worked well since you got it or just recently exhibited some problems?
When was the FW updated?

Well I have them currently 7 months but since in this 6.5 months ive used it as a router and I saw later I could swap to ap mode so I did this 2 weeks ago. The reason I did this was because facetime from whatsapp ect was laggy I had all time to swap to my ssid of my modem of my provider. On that ssid never lagspikes. I had before powerline adapters It was fine till I swapped to orbi's reason I upgraded my incomming network from 200mb down up to 1gb. The firmware was updated 7 months ago in the setup proces. I've also now turned off auto update of firmware. But how Can I select per RBS to downgrade there power.

The RBR power setting applies to the RBR and RBS.
