Just to be clear I don't have a WiFI issue, the RBR850 is pulsing white, turns off the WiFi (until the pulsing stops) and is also not reachable via a wired PC during that time.
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update? There is no ISP modem.

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update? There is no ISP modem. Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with Orbi system been performed since last update? Might try a factory reset on the RBR as well if the power OFF doesn't change it.

So is the RBS directly wired to the RBR?
Yes

Yes that has been made. Is there a recommended way to restore the configuration after a factory reset? Due to the amount of connected devices and their connection to each other a reset without resotring the configuration is not a viable solution in production.
> 30 feet is too far....keep an eye on the sat ring...the color will guide
As mentioned already in the beginning the color is pulsing white. The satellite has a wired connection.
