Orbi RBS750 mounting
Just would like to know if with a mount can you invert a satellite? I have a high ceiling and a mount that screws into the RBS750...Would inverting it hurt reception ?
Plus my understanding of the antennas is they're omnidirectional and not directed.
So it broadcasts in a sphere, not directional.
My only curiousity would be on cooling if that'd have any issues.
Possible. Something to try. The system is omni directional signal and broadcasting. Normal and recommended position is not inverted to allow for best air flow for cooling of the unit.
I agree with FURRYe38 . As the fcc internal photos show, the user facing antennas are mounted vertically on each side of the case:
(The antennas mounted at angles are the 5G 'backhaul' antennas)
Thus, the system will function identically with both orientations. (Turned on one side or lying on the front or back would probably create a strange situation.)
Being high enough to clear furniture and obvious obstacles is often recommended. At the top of a "high ceiling" might not be a great idea. I also agree that the product is obviously engineered with the idea of convection cooling from the bottom.

I can verify omnidirectIonal is the case with my RBK752 system. My RBR750 is angled "edge on" 35 feet and a floor away from my RBS750. If I re-orient the RBR750 so it faces the RBS750's front there's no difference in performance.
