What is the name of the old SSID name?
I use a two word name with a space in between, WPA2 AES only and all my mac devices work fine. Been using same SSID name for past 20years though.

When i change the name to the one I used before - most of devices connect but non of Apple product can. Strange thing is that even if i set Orbi to ap mode same situation happens. Please help. This is really something that should not be hapenning on that kind of product.

Wouldn't think there is anything wrong with that.
What happens if you try Turbo Wifi with a space in between?

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is the RBR connected to same ISP Modem/router in AP mode as well?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Is Wifi Private Address disabled on ALL Apple devices?
