Relative position of the Orbi satellites
Just wanted to see if it has made any difference in your WiFi signal throughout your home/office when you have adjust the position of the Orbi router or satellites? Not sure if turning the units 90˚ ...
Windows screens would only effect signal if they were also metal mesh. Most newer, current or average home windows screens are of a plastic threaded kind of screen mesh. These shouldn't effect signal. Concrete and metalict building materials will. Especially for 5Ghz.
I would like to place one in the living room and then one more one floor up right above it. Will the radiation pattern support that or does it have to place "in plane" so to speak?
Distance is key here rather then relative position:
30 feet 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

the best scenario would be to place the Orbi router in the middle and the sats out from there on each circle side
the built in ring colors will let you know when you've placed the sat too far from the orbi router
