Took your advice and looked at the settings on the combo modem//router couldn't find anything so decided to change out the ISP provided device for a new docsis 3.1 Spectrum E31U2V1 - which is just a modem (and no Web UI).
i got a speed bump ;) But no change
did factory reset on the router followed by resets on the satellites - no change.
Noticed that the Orbi Router handles the Guest network correctly and stably.
RESOLVED by unplugging satellites from Ethernet and using wirelessly.
either there's an issue with Ethernet backhaul or more likely I have something going on with the multiple switches that I have in some of the rooms.
Thank you FURRYe38 For your help

Interesting. My RBS are ethernet connected. Guest Network is stable when enabled.
What is the Mfr and model if these switches. I use HP Pro Curve 1800 series non managed switches.
