In the main house I have installed CBR40 with 2 satellites and it preforms great. 150 feet away I have a 2 floor garage with a cement floor between the 2 floors.  I have a cat 6 network cable running from Switch the Orbi CBR40 is connected to the garage.  How do you recommend I configure the RBR20 and it satellite to provide WiFi to the garage?  Do I use the same SSID?
