I would like to connect the ethernet backhaul from my RBR50 to my RBS50s, but due to wiring accessibility, I can only reasonably get one of my two RBS50s connected via ehternet. Would someone be able to advise if it would cause any issues to operate in this configuration? (Router + ethernet backhaul to one satellite, and wireless backhaul to the second satellite). Thanks. Model: RBK53| Orbi Router + 2 Satellites Orbi WiFi System

Yes, that will work fine, as that is how my setup is running. I have star configuration with one RBS50 satellite wired to the RBR50 for its backhaul, and the second RBS50 using the 5GHz wireless backhaul.

Should work fine. I've ran that setup without issues before. I ran my rbs50's wired and rbs40v and rbs50y with them wireless and everything still worked well.
