It's a UK converted bungalow (two levels).
Total is about 2000 sq ft
The walls are really thick with either lathe and plaster or brick and plaster.
I thought Orbi 53 would have nailed it but alas no, unless the limited options I do have for situating are just not compatible.
I had one satelite upstairs and which ever room it was in the other room had signal degradation.
The Orbi's themselves didn't report any issues between themselves.

What is the distances between the router and satellites? Feet?
- ForthayMay 29, 2018Tutor
About 30ft diagonally betwen the router and upstairs satellite in the upper front room.
The other satellite is downstairs to the rear of the house and again about 30ft through at least two walls.
