Hi

I have a 2500 ft 1 level condo , lots of concrete & glass.

My router is at end of unit w 2 satelites , 1 in middle & one at other end. I lose signal intermittenly , Spectrum(no choice).

I have an additional orbi RBR50 router & 2 more satelites, can I use 2 routers in 1 house?

Pros?

Cons?

Best set up if possible?

I agree with FURRYe38 that adding the two satellites to the existing router is the best option without extensive work. Having the modem at one end of a building is the root of your problem.  Adding a second router in the same location just makes the problem worse, not better.  Ideally, an ethernet cable could be used to move the router to a more central location where the (now) four satellites could be placed in a "star" around it.  Orbi "50" series have a lot of backhaul bandwidth, so "Daisy Chaining" additional satellites is not too bad.  I would hope you could get two satellites to connect directly to the router and then one (or maybe two) Daisy Chained off of them.  The one at the "other end" may be too far away.  Half of its signal is blasting into the wall and outside (not doing anything for you).  Might start with moving that satellite closer so that it is about 20 ft away from the far wall.
