Please try the newer v4.5 version.
It's only for the RBR. Turn OFF the RBS.
I recommend a factory reset on the RBR and setup from scratch. Use same SSID name and PW as used before. Set up the RBR first, then I was able to turn on one RBS at a time and let them wirelessly sync. They synced with out having to press any buttons. If your don't you can of course thry the sync button process. I'd get both synced fully and make sure they report GOOD status. Then turn OFF and place in remote locations.

NG needs to come up with damn fix already! We all spend decent moeny for the Orbi .. and we get this crap! Netgear ... Man up and response to us with some clarity. Or do you justnot care? If V4.6.5.14 does not fix my drop outs ... I will have to start searching for another router and sell the Orbi and let it be somoene elses problem.
Well as of 9:29 PM last night, Wednesday December 29th, I installed V4.6.6.11_2.1.4.T.1. on the RBR and RBS. After 5 days of being disconnected (4 hours after I left the house for 5 days) I have to try something to see if NG fixed it. If this FW version tanks .... I will be shopping for another mesh system and this Orbi will be selling on eBay. Crossing my fingers that this may fix the issue ... time will tell. I will keep you all posted.

Let us know if you reset and setup from scratch after loading FW or just power OFF the RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back ON and observe the system.

Quick update for you guys.
I installed V4.6.6.11_2.1.4.T.1 on botgh the RBR and RBS last week Wednesday (Dec 29th) around 9:30 pm) It has been rock solid with not a single drop out or internet disconnect Going on 5 days now. (Crossing fingers) I will wait another 5 days (or until it fails to give you another update)
Good to hear. Mines been solid as well since loading v11. RBS are wirelessly connected.
Please make any new posts over in the v4.6.6.11 forum thread:
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I was stable for about 7 days on 4.6.6.11_2.1.4.T.1 until yesterday when things went ugly wrong. Lost all network connectivity (WiFi and wired) in the middle of a video call. Power down of the NG router didn't help. Factory rest of both the router and satellite Is the only thing that Worked. HUGE pita! I was out of operation for at least an hour.
I have a pretty complicated router setup so a factory reset creates a lot of work.
