hi
the jump through 2 floors would effect the 5 gig backhaul to the point it may not connect at all
you prob could put it on the second floor and hope its wifi reaches the third

Hey Schpeen,
NETGEAR says that you can use 3 satellites with the base station. If you have a disposal income and a lot more space that needs WiFi then definitely get more.
You can order add-on satallites here
I wanted to let you know that I was reading that other people have used more with great success! So if like I said if you have disposabal income and need more satelltes I would try 4, maybe even 5. Do what you are comfortable with, just saying I have heard success stories with more than 3.
cheers

Holy cow - the satellite is more expensive than the router?
