My guess is, "not likely." I would check out the Ubiquiti line. They have units at a fraction of the cost of the RBY50 that are designed specifically for creating a point-to-point link. Several forum participants have posted about using Ubiquiti units to extend Orbi coverage. 660 ft. is a long diostance for 802.11 WiFi.

agree with CrimpOn 660ft is a long distance. Running ethernet is only good for 100m without a booster/switch in line. If you got daisy chaining to work that far, you'll have issues with latency and errors would be my bet. I've never tried to reach that far but I've had issues trying to use wireless over a 200ft range with consumer gear. Especially for the speeds you want.
