For that size of home, if you have the RBR and 2 or 3 RBS, that maybe having too much wifi signals. For 1600 sq ft 1 RBR and 1 RBS would be only needed. I have a 5000sq ft phone and use only 1 RBR and 1 RBS most of the time and coverage is good all around.

Originally I had just the RBK53 and some of the Ring cameras around the perimiter of the house had weak signals. Added the RBR20 to the master bedroom to boost the signal to the Ring Camera in one corner of the backyard and moved one satellite to the other corner of the house to provide a wired connection to a desktop computer in my child's room as well as the rest of the backyard which was having dead zones before I repositioned them. Basically a router/satellite in each corner of the house to cover my 6200sq ft lot. Haven't had any issues with the Ring devices ever since. Haven't had any issues roaming around the house or backyard streaming music on my iphone with fast roaming enabled too.
