Is there such a thing as being too close to the router?
My router is in a closet in the center of the house about 6' off the floor. It is about 20 feet from the head of the bed in the master bedroom. The satellite is at the other end of the house about ...
I finally switched from the Orbi to an R8000. I use the Orbi in my pole barn. All my problems went away.

If the router and satellite are "too close", their signals overlap too much. At 50ft, your router and satellite may be too far apart.
For devices, there is no such thing as "too close". (Well, maybe sitting on top of the router is bad. 3-5 ft. works great.)
