Is this a good topology?
I am setting up a network in a large house - 4 floors. I added a 3rd satellite so each floow has a router or satellite, well spaced. Everything looks fine regarding speed, errors, issues etc.
I saw in the mobile Orbi app a topology of how it's set up. This was new to me, does this look reasonable, and if not what should I do about it!
If the picture is not approved for display, it shows the Internet globe with a line to the router (which is in the basement as that's where the comcast line is), with has a line to the 2nd floor satellite, which has two lines from it - one to the 3rd floor satellite and one to the first floor satellite.
Thanks!

- That worked! So, is this ok?
I guess that works too though the one RBS will be handling lots of traffic since it's the only one connected to the RBR. If it seems to work for you then why not.
I didn't set it up that way, I just added the Satellites one by one per the setup documentation. Is there a way I can influence/change the topology? Should I turn off the Floor 2 satellite, let the other 2 connect directly to the RBR, then turn it back on for example? Or just leave it be?
Ya try to power the remote or farther RBS on first before the closer one.
