Orbi, extra satellite?

Question

Hi all I have recently moved into quite a big house and ordered a Orbi RBK23 twin plack (Router and two satellites).

I would like a satellite in my bedroom at the far end of the house so i can hardwire in my TV and Nvidia shield.

If i put the satellite in my bedroom i get the purple halo and poor back talk, so i now have it on the landing and get good back talk and can get wifi in my bedroom.

So my question is can i place another satellite in the bedroom and will it connect to the closest satellite or does it physically have to connect to the router itself?

Thanks

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or farther is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router&nbsp;You can Diasy Chain RBS if you like. This would allow the RBS to connect to each other then one will connect to the RBR.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
