Its not recommended to put wfi if routers in the basement. Concrete and steel will inhibit good wifi signal travel and coverage.
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.

The RBR being inthe basement is the reason the RBS is also hardwired. They are probably about 50 feet apart from each other.
