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?

Guys looking for some advice trying the Ethernet backhaul on my set up, modem is connected to Orbi via internet connection, LAN 1 on Orbi Router is connected to 24 port gigabit switch, everything else connected to gigabit switch, yet I am still only getting between 3-400 mbps on a 1 gig connection, if I connect everything to switch I get the same speeds but am unable to connect to App or Orbi login site, daisy chain is switched off, am I doing something wrong here? I have two satellites (RBK 53 Set Up).  Satellites  are showing as wired with good on the backhaul page on log in. I am also set up in access point mode and everything is up to date firmware wise
