Placement of Satellite

We have a three story house, about 3,000 sq ft. The Verizion Fios router is on the third floor.  Our dead zones are on the first floor, on the opposite side of the house (of course).   The house is old with thick plaster walls with wire lathe.  

 

If the Orbi is located on that third floor near the Fios router where is the best place for the satellite?  On the middle floor or as close to the dead zone as possible? 

  • Try middle floor first. 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
