AX6000 RBK853 with 1 router and 2 satellites. What distance to keep?

Hi,

I just bought a Netgear mesh system. AX6000, RBK853.

I need to cover 7,000 sq ft. There are 3 floors in the house.

Also, There will be 2 walls and a floor seperating each of these devices.

How far should I place each of the satellites from the router and do I need to buy more Satellites?

 

Thanks everyone for helping me.

  • 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
    https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 📡Weve seen RBS placed out at 50-60 feet and seems to work well. Something you'll kind of have to play with. Target status on the RBR should be GOOD. Poor status is ok and can work as well.
