Disappointed with coverage of AX6000 / RBS850
I just installed a RBS850 / AX6000 Mesh system with one router and two satellites. I previously had an RBK50 system with 3 satellites that worked good, but I needed more satellites and was told that ...
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Be sure the RBR is located on the main floor and not in a basement if one is present.

Fifth time I try to answer this now.
I have made a picture, that should answer all questions.
It seems that answer was saved properly. To follow up, the house is 9 meter wide, and far below the promised 350 square meter coverage.
Yes, the network is faster, but not $1000 faster (as this system costed me).
PS. And also; Thanks for the input!
PPS. I realized why my answers wasn't saved. Netgears forum engine don't accept the square meter symbol ("m" and a superscript "2"). It didn't say anything though, next time I refreshed the page my answer wasn't there.
The distance between R and S1 is TOO Close. 30 feet is starting distance between the RBR and a RBS.
For that size of home the R and one RBS should work but you seem to have blocking building materials in the center.
Wondering if a Power Line adapter to connect S2 RBS to the RBR and turn OFF S1 RBS would be better.
