Hi all, I have RBRE960 (Orbi) MESH with two satelites since about 2 years. One Satelite is connected with LAN cable, other with wifi. There is an annoying amount of WiFi drop in every device ...

turning off the wifi on the provider box doesn't disable its routing function and puts you in a double nat.
What actual modem/gateway do you have?
have you tried putting it in passthrough/modem only mode?
Or the Orbi in access point mode?

Hi,
thank you for your questions.
The modem is a F@st 5670. It has DHCP enabled.
The Orbi is in AP mode to avoid double NAT. It is a MESH of 3 Orbi. The Master is on the first floor, where the modem is (about 50cm from the modem). Slave 1 is connected with LAN (it is on the gorund floor), Slave 2 is also on the first floor together with the Master but with WiFi connection (diagonal in the other corner of the house).
