RBS760 minimum distances between it and other RBS760
I need to add access for a Tivo with ethernet only (no wifi) , with fixed IP address (so it's discoverable by the other 3 Tivos on the network) in a room where I already have strong signal from my RB...
30 feet to begin with. Can be more depending upon building materials.

I have been using a Netgear wnce3001 N wifi adapter, which lost access when Netgear did firmware updates to the router system in early January, 2023
True that the WNCE3001 debuted in 2012, but this does not seem right. On Amazon used WNCE3001s are are now selling for over $200. Whatever happened to:
Have you tried to Reset the WNE3001 and reconnect it to the router?
I would gladly spend $250 on another satellite before fishing Ethernet cable up into the attic and down into another room, especially if there are fire blocks inside the walls.
There are a ton of similar products on Amazon for under $50. There is even some WiFi6 models.
p.s. Neglected to ask "what about the other WNCE3001s?"
I would not be overly concerned about WiFi interference. Other Orbi models have an option to decrease the Transmit Power (on the Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings, WiFi Settings menu). Netgear does not bother to describe Advanced settings in the User manual, so only a person who has a 760 can determine if the option exists on that model.
No option to control signal power exists in Orbilogin.com or the phone app. Noteably, the RBR760 takes away the old N router options to have separate SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 ghz bands, no longer allows you to suppress broadcasting the SSIDs or to keep wifi clients from seeing your ethernet clients, if you choose to.
Thanks anyway, but I'll opt for the ethernet cable. I'm sure my 79 10/12 year old bones would regret it, so I'll bring in a handy man to string the cable.
