What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Can you draw us up a diagram of the RBR and RBS lay out and connection configuration and how they are connected and where the switches are in the configuration?
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.

FYI, recommended switches to use with Orbi if you have the RBS ethernet connected to the RBR are non managed switches. NETGEAR XS505M and GS110MX work great with the 9 series. MS105 series(2.5Gb Non managed)
Is IGMP and any Green Ethernet features enabled on those manages switches?
What CAT# LAN cable is being used between the RBR and RBS and Switches? CAT6A STP is recommended.
Were the RBS wirelessly synced to the RBR first before ethernet connecting them?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
