This is NOT possible. The outdoor satellite has NO RJ45 ports.

I'm about to open packaging on a new Outdoor Satellite from Amazon, and I have the Orbi with 2 Satellites currently installed. So exactly in the same boat as the OP. Is there something I should know about problems with putting in an Outdoor Satellite as third satellite before I start?
I can still return to Amazon if this is not a good configuration. Didn't think about the fact the outdoor version won't have a RJ45 jack to get to it directly... that could be a problem.

Got it working... had to call support but through a series of reboots and manual SYNC's it's working!
