Netgear says the AX systems support six satellites:

All six 'wired' should be the optimal structure.
These cable connections are probably going through a patch panel somewhere in the house?
- gursoynecdetDec 08, 2023TutorYes 3 of them is directly connected to the router (rbr850)
The others are connected to the switch directly no patch- FURRYe38Dec 08, 2023Guru - Experienced User
Was the RBS first wirelessly connected and synced to the RBR one at a time, then ethernet connected?
What is the brand and model# of this switch?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
