RBR750 and 2 RBS750, nightmares, almost non-usable
I purchased 2 RBK752 kits, but currently working with 1 Router and 2 Satellites. From day 1 when I first configured it I started to see issues as my iphone had hard time connecting to it - it keeps...

No, I think it's customized one for the ISP, here I found some English information about it.

Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Try option #2 first...
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Turn OFF the RBS and just test with the RBR alone for now.
So the RBS are ethernet connected to the RBR? If so, how are they connected, is there a LAN switch or patch panel in between the RBR and RBS? Brand and model of switch if one is in use please.

Hi,
I already configured #2, but it doesn't help.
before Orbi I also had a mesh system connected to this Modem-Router and I had no issues.
I have disabled its WIFI, and configured DMZ.

Hi,
I set 2.4G channel to 11 (I see it using 11P+7S)
I set 5G channel to 48 (I see it using 36+40+44+48P)
and I still facing the issue.
regarding power off the RBS and use only RBR I can check it only tomorrow - as I need to change a floor.
