Oh,dear. RBK452 or RBK454 are not Netgear model numbers.
It makes a world of difference what kindof 7,000 sq. ft. multi-story building this is.
(7 floors of 1,000 sq. ft. each? 2 floors of 3,500 sq. ft?)
and how the building is constructed. Typical office building with concrete/rebar floors? Residential wood frame? Warehouse?
If you post the question in the Orbi "AX" forum, someone may report the number of satellites they have added to one AX router:

I would confirm model # first. There is only Orbi 7 and 850 series systems. I don't see any 4 series Orbi AX listed. Possible this is a RBK40 series?

Thanks - I posted in AX forum. House is multi-story with stone and cinderblock walls, so I will need many satellites.
