Deco X20 setup help requested please

Hello,
I just purchased a home in Middle Tennessee. I need help setting up my Deco X20. I currently have one in my bonus room above the garage where we stream movies. I have another one right beside the modem in my main floor bedroom (oppose side of house than bonus room). and then the final one in the basement where we will hopefully soon finish to make in to a game room (card table, pool table and ping pong table). The basement one is almost directly below the main bedroom. The house (including unfinished basement is 4000 sq feet) so this system states that it will cover 5800 sq ft. The bonus room buffers when watching movies quite often. Our internet is setup for up to 500 Mbps.
Should I place these Deco X20 routers elsewhere, or buy another one? Help, I am a tech dummy. I barely know what is a modem and a router. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Hi, welcome to the community.
Would the satellite Deco X20s be wirelessly connected to the main Deco X20?
If they are connected over a Wi-Fi Backhaul, here are some suggestions for the location:
1. check the signal source on the Deco APP to make sure the signal strength is at least 2 bars.
(So if somehow the game room or bonud room is a little bit far away from other Deco units, you might need to consider placing somewhere in the middle of the main bedroom and other rooms.)
2. Try to avoid a closed cupboard and put it in an open space, 1-1.5m above the floor.

3. If the house has been properly arranged via Ethernet cables, Connecting the satellite Deco nodes will highly improve the speed and stability.
