How are the RBS connected to the RBR when ETH? Directly behind the RBR or is there any LAN switches in between?

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

RBR and RBS are about 18 meter apart, and there is one floor in between - wood and brick house. Not sure how relevatn this is, as the RBR is connected via CAT6 UTP to the RBS.
Let me be clear:
- with V7.2.6.31 the RBR works great with wired backhaul
- with V7.2.7.15 the RBR does not work with wired backhaul - connnection indicates good, but MBPs goes down to 0 after one second.

What model Mac Book Pros are these? Intel or Apple M series?
What OSX version is loaded on them?
Did you have Private WiFI address disabled on them as well?
I saw no issues with my MBP 2018/OSX 15 beta with my 963 with v.15 loaded. Ran great for 30 days. Wondering if there maybe some interop issue between Apple and Orbi and this version of FW.
