I’m 30 feet from the router and 5 ft from the satellite and FaceTime and other programs say poor connection. All firmware is up to date. This is happening with android iPad and iphonex
What FW is currently loaded? What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz. Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see: MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Basically i have a nest door bell next to my orbi satellite (it is only 2 meters away) and the nest camera is connecting to my main orbi router that is situated over 10m away and is onanother floor. Moreover the connection is poor it is 30%.

If you reboot the RBR, leaving the satellite alone. Do any devices connect to the satelilte?

Also regarding your ISP modem:
This modem alredy has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. Couple of options, 1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly. 2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode. 3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
