Another thing to consider is you don't want to put the satellite(s) in areas of poor reception. They need to be within the area of good connection so they can boost that over to the the poor areas. So if you put the Orbi router in the room where the R7000 is, you would want to have the satellite somewhere between the router and where you are not getting good reception. Ideally you want the satellite at the edge of the router's good reception area. Think overlapping circles.
