The RBRE960

How is the RBS connected to the RBR? Directly in back or is there a LAN switch? Brand and model if there is one please.
Something to keep in mind is that CAT5 isn't officially rated for 1Gb, 100Mbps only. 5E supports 1Gb. For anything over 1Gb, 2.5 and higher, CAT6A STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) is recommended and works best. Higher speeds can be susceptible to noise and interferences, something that UTP cabling can't help with. This is not a NG issue rather a RJ45 ethernet issue.
I've had my 9 series since the beginning, having seen this issues in any FW version I've tested. New v7 FW works great for me. Mine are ethernet connected with XS505M and GS110MX in between. CAT6A STP on the lines.
And you never followed up with feedback that was requested in your last post:

The only reliable solution to getting these devices reconnected is to turn everything off. Start the modem, wait for it to boot -> Start the router, wait for it to boot -> Wait 10-15 minutes -> Start each satellite one at a time and waiting for it to boot and an additional 10-15 minutes before going to the next one. For a house with an Orbi router and three satellites this takes over an hour for a minor power cycle. Do any of your suggested configuration changes resolve that? I appreciate your response but I’ve tried everything you’ve suggested before and none of those changes actually correct this or even have the potential to correct this, these are just copy/pasted suggestions I’ve seen dozens of times on this site. Netgear is doing a bad job supporting these systems and is not fixing glaring problems. For a premium setup that costs $2k, this is outrageous. I use Cat 8 gold plated network cables and wired each satellite to the router and still have intermittent connection issues which is beyond frustrating considering I work remotely and need a reliable connection.
