Vertical Placement of RBR50 and RBS50's

The Orbi Base is in the Basement, centrally located.
We set up the first Satellite in the Attic, about 40' Straight up

Thanks to all the people who replied. We moved the Satellite 4' off-center, and we now have "Goof" signal Strength
May have to have the satalite hangout in the hall, but thats better than having a cable down the hall, the stairs, around the corner and down another set of stairs...

Glad you got it working. I presume Goof signal is just as good as Good signal. LOL.:smileytongue:
I would not place the satelilites on there faces. Verticle is recommended to allow for the ambient air flow from bottom to top for air cooling. Wouldn't want the units to over heat or die due to heat issues.
