Can I connect Orbi Voice Add-on Satellite (RBS40V) through ethernet?

I have Orbi router (RBR50) as my main router, connected to two RBS50 satellites. but I have an isolated room that has no wifi coverage at all. but in the room there is an ethernet cable that connects to the main router. My question is can I connect Orbi voice (RBS40V) to my main router through ethernet cable? thank you :)

    Yes, mine is set that way.  Once you have your Orbi RBS40V configured and paired, move it to the location and plug the net cable in and turn it on. It will automatically configure for wired backhaul.
