RBR placement
Our apartment has RJ45 ports in 4 rooms, but they terminate in the Master bedroom closet, where the Optical Network Terminal is located. I wish the design was diffrent but it what I have to work with...

Probably.
Distance between a wifi router and other devices should be 3-6 feet.

Sorry to keep using you as a sounding board.
The current location is in a medium size room where the door is often closed. It is my office, and if I am on a conference call (which is often), the door is closed.
The closet where this ONT is located is in a similar configuration and is smaller.
My office has a lot of electronic devices Monitors, PCs, and so on.
The closet would only have the RBR and a Bed Room TV on a far wall.
If I did move the router next to the ONT, would the backhauled satellites make up for any loss of Radio Signal?
