RBR750 wifi DHCP issues after reboot

RBR750 with 2 satellites have issues with DHCP server where after a reboot devices won't obtain an IP address.
Workaround: Every time you have to login locally(via LAN) to router and change DHCP Pool to something new and reboot.
DHCP should be a basic feature and bug in this simple stuff is super inconvenient. Let me know if anyone knows a permanent fix. Btw, I am on the latest possible firmware version.

      1. Tried factory reset and config from scratch multiple times
      2. Upgrade firmware to the latest and then factory reset
      3. Inspect the logs on Orbi(RBR750) and pcap on the client side and shows that DHCP lease not being handed by Orbi.
      4. So, far every time I have to choose unique(previously not used) DHCP scope to make SSID work.
