Basements are not recommended places for main host wifi routers.
You can ethernet conenct RBR and RBS as well:
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

Equipment closet is in the basement - so the most desirable loaction for the router would be in the basement rack.
Have ethernet everywhere - so the other 2 satelites will be hard wired.
So since everything is hard wired, am I correct in assuming that the router and satellites won't talk to each other - so it's irrelevant which floor has the router?
