What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Please turn OFF all RBS, Doe the chrombooks connect to the RBR while its online alone or do they still experience problems with just the RBR?
Try with AX Mode disable just to see if this changes anything...
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 wirelessly connected. https://https://https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Either set CTS to 64 or 2347, not 2305.
You can try setting 40Mhz only channel width to see as well. Just uncheck the check box.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Verizon G1100 Quantum Gateway set to bridge (effectively acting as a switch). That is wired into my RBR850 set to Router mode. Then 4 satellites are ethernet wired to the RBR.
Please turn OFF all RBS, Doe the chrombooks connect to the RBR while its online alone or do they still experience problems with just the RBR? I will try this

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 wirelessly connected. I everything is hardwired (not wirelessly connected). I have the RBR in the basement. One floor directly up are two satellites (25 ft apart) and another floor up are two more satellites (about 35 ft apart).
Either set CTS to 64 or 2347, not 2305. Done, switched to 2347

"ne floor directly up are two satellites (25 ft apart)" This is too close. 30 feet or more distance in between is recommended.

Yeah, I know, it's 5 ft though, what can I do. Everything else is working great, as is.
By disabling AX, does that essentially reduce this router to my previous AC RBR50's performance?
