Worth updating from RBR350?
I currently have a RBR350 with two RBS350 connected over wireless backhaul. I am rewiring the house and moving the router, and as a result I will have two wired satellites and need a third that will w...
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

I assume you mean no more than thirty feet? And does the distance of the wired satellites matter? They'll be about 17
feet from the router. The wireless satellite will be about 15 feet vertically from the wired satellite it connects to.

"30 feet or more"
Yes. Wired or wireless.
Anything under 30 feet is TOO close. Wired or wireless.
Thank you, but that doesn't work for my house. It's 30ft square and it definitely needs satellites, I tried without and I had deadzones. I have a very thick wall running down the middle of it. But anyway, satellite placement wasn't my question.
Again distances are too close. If you can't spread them out farther. You'll need to reduce the RBS deployment by one.
Having RBS too close to the RBR and to each other will cause wifi problems and some devices will seem to not connect right or see side effects of wifi devices seemly not keeping battery power as there having to constantly find a wifi signal to lock on thus this can drain the devices batter power unnecessarily.
Another option would be to turn the RBR wifi power down to 25%:
