Satellite Placement
Hey guys. How far away from the router do you guys observe is acceptable for the satellites? Too far awa and the signal won't transmit. Can it be too close?

certainly can be too close , what you want is to find the point where there is not too much overlap between the transmissions but enough connection to ensure the backhaul is sufficient
how i did it was connect a comp to router and another to the sat and start close and measure the throughput , then move the sat away a few meters and measure again until the speed start to drop a lot then move it a bit closer so you have good backhaul coverage
