Will check using a wireless backhaul.
Home is 1,900sq ft spread across three floors with the RBR on the ground floor and RBS on the top floor. Most walls are stud and floors are wood.
Distance between the RBR and RBS is about 15m
Channels are manually set after doing a wifi scan of my home and the least congested of them all
