iPadOS devices sometimes looses connection with RBR50

I'm very happy people trying to help me, but when something already mentioned and answered many posts before, it's not necessary to repeat al those things again and again.
I just wanna know one thing: why should I not place the RBR into the cellar when my satellites are on ground and first floor and hardwired...
