30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Non managed non green ethernet featured switches are recommended.

Right now everything is set up in the most basic out of the both configuration. Router in bedroom next to the FiOS modem. One sat. on the same floor in the TV room, and one sat. upstairs.
Can I run Ethernet from the router to a switch in the TV room, and plug THAT sat. to the switch, while at the same time leave the sat. upstairs remaining completely wireless?
Ultimately I could keep the setup the way it is and STILL run Ethernet from the FiOS modem to the TV room to feed the Roku in there.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
