Thank you so much! I will do that, and let you all know how it goes.

Due to your concrete walls, the RBK23 may not be powerful enough. The layout would be the same as I suggested, test it to see if it is sufficient. If it is not, then you may need to exchange it for the RBK53. See https://www.tech21century.com/netgear-orbi-rbk30-vs-rbk40-vs-rbk50/#RBK23_Vs_RBK50 for a comparison of features.
