Something to check into as well, maybe a powerline adapter between the RBR and the far side of the wall to get a RBS ethernet connected to the RBR.
Concrete and steel will cause problems for any wifi mesh system.

OK.
But currently the RBR is on the ground floor and the RBS on the second floor (attic). In your configuration, should I move the RBS to the ground floor or the first floor?

Powerline adapters make it so you can use the house hold power outlet as a form and way to communication over power coverted to ethernet from where the RBR is located to where the RBS is located at it's remote location. May help if there are wifi barriers in between the RBR and RBS.

Maybe a stupid remark: but why not just link the router to the laptops directly with powerline adapters then, instead of using the Orbi?
