RBR50 got problem with satellite
Hello, i have netgear orbi system at home with 1 router RBR50 and 2 Satellite RBS50. My house have 4 floor, i setup the router RBR50 at 1 floor, the 1 satellite at 2nd floor and the second satellite at 3rd floor.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
