RBR750 AP vs Router mode
I have RBR750 with two satellites. Both Satellites are connected to the ethernet. What is the best configuration i.e. Router vs AP? Any pros and cons? Thanks.

If you have a use of the up stream router or your ISP has a built in router that can't be fully disable, then AP mode maybe needed or desired with Orbi. In most cases router mode is preferred to take advanage of the features that Orbi offers.
There are limiations when in AP mode:

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
