Does adding another satellite improve on speed loss?

Question

I just installed the RBR40 and 1 Satellite. The Router has brilliant speed and it is located on the second floor at the end of the apartment. The satellite is in the living room and it is where I connect all my console and devices. The speed upstairs is 300Mb but in the living room is around 20Mb.
&nbsp;
If I add another satellite, will it improve the speed in the living room because there will be another in the middle to avoid speed loss?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I know that I can try to place the router in a different place can improve this but it is very hard since I rent the apartment and it is quite a hassle to move the router from the connection point.
&nbsp;
Thanks!

You can't place satellites too close. 30 feet in between to begin with minumum.&nbsp;

My apartment is around 800 sqft and they are around 35ft apart from each other. I have 1 bedroom and the kitchen in between the routers, could that be it?

800sq ft is quite small, the router along could handle this. Yes, remove the satellite in the middle.&nbsp;
