If the satellites are too close to each other or the router, the WiFI signals will bounce back and you may experience intermittent connectivity or slow speed. A distance of atleast 20-25 feet should be there between the satellites.

I would like to use the Netgear Orbi RBK50 Set in my house with 3 levels. The main router is on the top floor. Now I'mplanning to put the base on the top, one satellite on the middle floor and maybe another on the bottom. Make this sense, or should be the base in the center?
