RBR10/RBS10 Mesh System - Internet only working through satellite but not main router

Hi have the RBR10 Mesh wifi system that I purchased just over 3 months ago in my house with the main router on the top floor and the satellite on the bottom floor. It worked fine and all devices connected to the internet without issue but all of a sudden my 2019 MacBook and iPad no longer load a page when connected to the main router (the device upstairs). I can still access the internet when connected to the satellite but as soon as I go upstairs, and it switches to the main router (which I confirmed via the Orbi app), the internet can’t load anything. What’s strange is my iPhone wifi works on all floors without issue. It only affects the MacBook and IPad.

Things I have tried so far:
1) updated firmware
2) enabled fast roaming
3) power cycled the router

I am at a lost and as I didn’t realise we only get 3 months customer service on the device, I have no one to ask. Any suggestions?

Might get more help in the orbi forum versus the general router forum.
