Router vs AP mode

Which is better?
I’m currently using router mode. Will AP mode still allow me to use the LAN ports on the satellites to connect my PCs and consoles? I’ve tried AP mode before but the ports stopped working. I was wondering if I just did something wrong. My satellites are connected through wireless backhaul.

Orbi is on .210 firmware. I have two RBS50 in .210 as well.
I have an Arris Gateway from my ISP, and had to do a little work around to have it bridged (but I also had to turned off a security feature to get it to work and I want to turn back on).

I don’t really have issues except a lot of buffering on YouTube on my iOS devices and sometimes lag/rubber banding during fast pace FPS games on console when there’s too many devices using up bandwidth or two consoles are online. Speeds are about 130 down/10 up. No issues with disconnects, just the lag is bothering me.
Would I benefit from AP mode and have my Gateway do all the routing again? And like stated above, can I still use the ports on the satellites to connect my PCs & consoles? If yes, how do I do that?
