If the OP only has 1 TV currently and adding 5 (so 6 total), then this would be one of those rare times I would consider the Genie-2 (HS17). However if they have other boxes/TVs authorized on the service that could change things.
I would not suggest more than 3 Clients, regardless if wired or wireless, with the current Genie. The HR54 has 5 tuners, which 2 of them it reserves for Picture in Picture (PiP). So that is 4 TVs total at the same time (Genie and 3 Clients). Dedicated receivers/HDDVRs would be needed for any TV beyond that to avoid conflicts.

Is the HR54 your only box? If not, what are the models of your other boxes?
How many total TVs will be on the service?

The HR54 can only stream to 3 TVs at a time. You will need a WVB (Wireless Video Bridge) and 5 C41W or C61W or C71WK minis mixed or matched.
