I have a RBK50 Router located on the ground floor and a Satellite on the third floor, purchased back on 12/31/18. Middle Floor gets spotty wifi connection. Which orbi product should I get to add an...
What is the size of the home in Sq feet?
What is the distance between the RBR and RBS? 30 feet or more is recommended in between the RBR and RBS.
Placement is key to good coverage.
YOu might move the RBS placement around a bit to see if this helps any before adding another.
You can add a RBS20, RBW40, RBS40v, RBS50 or EX7500, 7700 or 8000 extenders to Orbi.

That system is small for a 5000 sq ft home, taking into consideration layout, wiring, walls etc. You may be better off with at least 1 more satellite. My main home is around 3500 sq ft 2 story and secondary detached studio+garage is 700 sq ft. I'm using the RBK53 system (RBR50 router, 2 RBS satellites), in the main home and have an RBS40V wired in the detached building.
I would suggest the addiion of 1 more RBS or EX would do the trick. I have a 5000sq ft home however 2 levels, RBR on 2nd level and RBS in the basement. No issues for this configuration.
