There isn’t an exact distance from the base station to the satellite as many factors can contribute to the connection quality, i.e. walls, stone, brick, etc. I opted for a visual line from my office desk to the satellite out in the living room (approx 22-23 feet) as it is important my main TV has a good connection. The 3rd satellite is in my master bedroom. Despite this being a small house w/standard wood frame and sheetrock, I had challenges to the master bedroom down a very short hallway from the office area. I’d end up placing the satellite on a bedside table facing the bedroom entry to avoid walls and maintain a “strong” signal. If placed near the bedroom TV in the corner, I’d only get a “medium” signal. Unable to answer satellite to satellite. The app will help you optimize connectivity.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello NWA. We recommend 25-30 feet between nodes. Yes you can connect a satellite to another satellite but all units will attempt to link to the main unit first. only if its not in range will it build a connection to a satellite unit, or if you are using ethernet for the backhaul.
