Home is three levels, about 4400 sq ft of coverage area. The MR70 router is in the corner office on the top floor. There are two MS70 satellites, one in the center of the middle floor and one centered on the bottom floor. The router is over 30 feet from the satellites, but there is not more than 30 feet between the satellites. Perhaps only one satellite is needed?

Try turning OFF one RBS and see if the behavior changes.
Yes.
