X90 Deco satellite keep turning red and disconnecting device despite ethernet backhaul

Hello,
My Decos are running in access point mode. With smart DHCP turned off, fast roaming enabled nd beam forming disabled. Smart DHCP is turned off. These decos are running as a access points positioned at other ends of the house with an Ethernet backhaul, plugged directly into the Ethernet wall sockets. These wall sockets are in turn connected directly to the main switch for the whole house.
This main switch is itself, hooked up to our router (a tri band Linksys velop with 4 other nodes). We wish to maintain both networks, and since I have use the Linksys smart WiFi online features I would prefer to keep these running. I have ruled out channel interference, running channel finder on both the Deco system and the Velop system.
I have the decos using a static IP to connect to the internet so it connects to the network like any other client (I had it setup as a router before switching it to access point mode immediately after initial setup).
I noticed that the satellite deco frequently disconnects from the internet, and I cannot access the deco software while connected directly to my main WiFi network (that the deco's run off of). In addition, when next to the main deco, I've found that many devices do not seem to want to stay connected to the network and get frequently booted off.
Hi, is your network map like:
2*Deco X90 and 4*Velop satellite units are all wired to the main Velop router via the main switch.
And I am also quite interested in the test result about removing all the Velop units and leaving Deco X90 only? Would the Deco Mesh get much stable?
When the satellite unit turned red, how did you recover the connection, rebooting this Deco?
Had some major packet loss issues over the last few days and decided to switch the velops and the decos. Here is the new network topology. As for stability, will need to test over the next few days. The system is now on mostly ethernet backhaul through a new switch and is confirmed so on the app. Hopefully this solves the issue.
