How to increase coverage with rbr850 router after maxing out with 6 satellites
Currently I have maxed out the amount (6) of satellites with my rbr850 system. Is there a proven way to increase the range while utilizing these satellites that anyone can help me out with?

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 wired or wirelessly connected.

Warehouse space approx. 120k sq. ft.
Currently they're all spaced far greater than 30', probably closer to 50'-60'.
That's a pretty large area to cover. Not sure if your going to be able to fully cover that since the 8 series was rated to cover around 6k sq ft. Especially in a warehouse that Orbi wasn't really meant or designed for.
Is the system working as is currently?
