Satellite RBS50 connects directly (poorly) to base (RBK) instead of mesh through other RBS station

I've a problem with a connection of one of my satellites with the base station.

Below are some pictures with my current situation.

It seems the RBS extender is trying to connect to the base station directly (that is poor because of two levels in my house).

I would expect that in a mesh network it selects the base in range and uses that device.

How can I solve the problem of the poor internet connection of the bottom satellite (Woonkamer)?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?

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.

Try moving the farthest RBS farther away if possible from the RBR. Be sure Daisy Chain is enabled on the RBR. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try turning down the transmit power on the RBR from 100% to 50%.  Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

The current firmware is: V2.7.3.22

I really don't know how many sq meters the house is....
I know that everything is concrete and with the previous wifi solution I have really bad range/reception.

Currently I'm not on my location so I use the Orbi app with Anywhere Access.
There I don't see any advanced settings. Is that correct?

This will cause problems for any wifi MESH system. Why we need to know the distance between the RBR and RBS. Possible closer with the RBS maybe needed here.
