RBK753 placement
Hello,
I just bought an RBK753 system from Costco. The house is single story but has an odd layout. Kinda shaped like a U but the base and left line of the U a lot longer than the right line.
My current plan is to put
- Orbi router in the center of the U (that is my cable modem point and I cannot change it).
- One satellite in the center of the left line of the U and the other directly across (the top of the right line of the U)
1) What is the direction of the antenna in the Orbi RBR/RBS 750? Are there considerations on how the router/satellite should be facing to get maximum possible horizontal coverage? I am mostly interested in optimizing backhaul performance as the devices will likely be spread out throughout the house and cameras outside the house as well.
2) I am looking at wall mounting the Orbi. Are there considerations to be made to the height from the floor for a one story house given that I would not care about signal strength in the attic and crawlspace?
Thanks.

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
