RBR850 / RBS850 Hard-Wiring Question
Hi!
I have an RBR850/RBS850 system with the router and two satellites. I'm planning to add a few satellites because these system isn't big enough. I have an old house with a lot of plaster walls and fireplaces and the signal just doesn't distribute evenly.
I've had a lot of luck hardwiring the router and satellites to each other. As I grow the system, I'm wondering whether I can place an ethernet switch between the router and the satellites, such that the router and satellites all separately plug into the switch. This would allow for a more easier wiring scheme, with the satellites spread around the house.
Thanks very much!
Adam

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
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.

Between the RBR and RBS if you ethernet connect the RBS to the RBR.
