I would start here:
https://www.netgear.com/orbi/wifi-systems.aspx
I have a 5000 sq ft home and have a 40 series Orbi, base router at one end of the home upstairs and just 1 satellite 40 feet in between at the other end. Stellar coverage and performance.
30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

Thanks, I decided on the RBK50 mesh system. The setup was alittle flaky. I set it up, than there was a FW upgrade, went through that and the system didnt see to come up completely. Some clients were connecting. some not. I ended up doing a reset of both router and satelitte and went through the setup again. This time I didnt have an issue.
