What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.

My existing modem router feeds into this Ruckus Unleashed which then routes connection to several other smart home hubs (such as Leutron, Ring, Samsung etc.), wired cable outlet points in the walls and also two Access Points in the ceiling of both 1st floor and 2nd floor which helps evenly spread the wireless signals in my entire house.
I recently upgraded my internet speed to 1 gig and my current modem is not able to support the speed. I am interested in buying RBK752.
My question is should I buy RBK752 with the satellite or without the satellite? I am not sure if the satellite will be a redundant device given the fact that I have 2 access points on both the floors which covers internet speed pretty well.
Thanks
