During setup I had the satellites wired.

Orbi tends to prefer having the RBS wirelessly connect first, then once they are fully synced there, then ethernet connect them.
What happens if you use port 1 for the RBR on the XS switch, then ports 2 and 3 for RBS?
Be sure your RBR is using the gateways DMZ or IP pass thru feature to avoid the double NAT condition.
Not changing anything right now at least for another 5 days just to ensure another reboot does not occur. I will then plug in the router and one satellite to see how it operates and then the other satellite. I'm hoping by clearing the mac address table in the switch that it will operate correctly.
Gateway is in IP-Passthrough mode.
Let us know how it goes.
