Possible it should work however distances are a factor here.
Basements are not recommended places for the main RBR. Concrete and steel will cause problems for wifi coverage and connections.
What CAT# LAN cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
Can you ethernet connect both RBS?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
