Router continually reassigning IP addresses to the satellites.
I'm also having this issue.

What is the model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?
What is the current CTS value seen on the RBR? Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try lowering the transmit power on the RBR from 100% to 50%. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Distance between them is probably 30+ feet. RBR is in the basement and RBS is on the 3rd floor. CTS is 64. Is it possible to lower the power on the RBR alone and not affect the RBS? I have a few places in my house that don't have great coverage already.

Try it can see. You can always put it back.
Seems like devices maybe ping ponging back and forth thus causing these IP addresses. Its up to wifi devices to pick and choose where they connect to and maybe hopping around trying to get connected to one signal source.Basement is not recommended location for the RBR. Even if the RBS are ethernet connected.
