Orbi RBK53S Wifi Mesh and Lan Mesh problem.
I have some problems about setup my Orbi RBK53S network.
I had 1 RBK53S (1 x RBR50 and 2 x RBS50) and I bought one more RBS50.
So I had 1 x RBR50 and 3 x RBS50.
My system running firmware v2.3.5.30
When I setup my wifi system, everything is good. My system is map like this link.
I can connect app Orbi by my phone, check firmware update by PC when I using wifi connection from the RBR50 and 3 x RBS50.
But the problem is when I plugin the Lan cable into 3 satellites, I got this map like this link.
The satellite 2 and satellite 3 connected Lan, both of them disconnected with the wifi.
When I using phone to connect wifi to satellite 2 and satellite 3, I still can connect to internet. But I can not connect to Orbi app on my phone. I only can connect to Orbi app when I using wifi from RBR50 or satellite 1.
I used my PC connect to Orbi control pannel, I saw my satellite 1 connect wire. Satellite 2 and satellite 3 connect 5G. I pinged my PC to all satellites and I can make sure both of them were connecting wire because ping <1ms.
I only can check firmware update for my RBR50 and satellite 1. Satellite 2 and satellite 3 were “waiting for connection”
I tried to reset all of my Orbi system. (RBR50 and 3 satellites)
But I still get the same problem. Only the 1st satellite connect Lan can still get wifi mesh. The 2nd satellite and the 3rd satellite after connect Lan will disconnect from the wifi.
Anyone can help me to fix this problem?

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.How are the RBS connected via ethernet to the RBR? Directly or via a ethernet LAN switch?
