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.
