200 feet is a bit too far for RBS.
30 feet is recommended starting placement distance at it's remote location. Depend upon building materials, 50-60 feet is a remote distance range for RBSs. Pairing distance can be in the same room with the RBR. Once placed, then put out at it's remote location.
I have my RBR 2nd story and RBS in the basement at about 35-40 feet in a 5000sq ft home.

It's paired and working fine atm but it might be better suited for the second level directly above the RBR like you mentioned. What problems would I see from pairing it at greater distances? I think initially I did pair it right next to the RBR but its been through a few setups since then

Incorrectly syning properly thus not getting correct RBS log in as the RBR uses.
Let it run for while and see how it goes.
What distance is the RBS working at now from the RBR?

It's around 150-200ft basically where it was paired from. I can monitor devices being connected to the RBS and havent seen any problems. I will keep am eye on it

Ok, that mabye to far in distance. See how it goes. If you notice problems with the RBS, move the RBS closer to the RBR.
