Router and Satellite Placement
Is there a recommended distance the router and satellite should be placed from each other?

Thats realistically too close.

Can too close cause issues?

Yes, kind of like having over lapping signals in too close of a range. The router alone can handle probably up to about 30-40feet if centrally place.
10 feet is way too close.
I would not place the rouer in a entertainment cabinet either, maybe on very top of it. Keep the router and satellites in open spaces.
