nearby device won't connect to satellite - Do not mix RBR50 & RBS20
FYI rbr50 rbs50 & 2 x rbs20 (rbk43 kit) satellites No matter what power recycling, hard wired or wifi, etc etc no connection it seems that my iphone could smell the RBR50 and so it would ...
Why? "concrete home" this would be your problem. Concrete and steel will impact signal travel and performance. Your devices maybe picking the RBR since they seem to feel the RBR signal is better than the RBS. It's to the wifi devices to pick and choose where they connected too. Orbi doesn't do this.

Not true
The router is the decision maker
So what that means is that the system does not work with a MIXED satelite as quoted... This will be my last post

I am afraid your above statement is incorrect . The user cannot choose which device attaches to which satelite.
You can try Voxels FW for Orbi if you think it will be helpful:
