Ethernet backhaul on only 1 satellite

Hi all - I have an Orbi 3 pack (1 router and 2 satellites). Am I able to use Ethernet backhaul on just 1 satellite and leave the other wireless? Is anyone doing this?

Yes you can have combination of wired and wireless backhaul

Please make sure Daisy Chain is disabled in Orbi in this case.

Here is where this setting can be changed:

You will know you have it working when on the Orbi app under the network map it shows a dotted line for the wireless and a solid line for the wired.  Works like a champ.
