Extending my WiFi with a CAT6 cable connection
Looking for a little guidance:I have an Orbi RBR50v2 WiFi router with two remote satallites in my house. I have just built a woodshop 220 feet from the house and have run CAT-6 cable from the house to the new shop using an underground chase. Can I connect a new satellite in the shop to extend the range? Would I use one of the Ethernet ports in the satellite? Would I then connect that to one of the Ethernet ports in the new satellite?

Correct. You can hardwire in a satellite.
you can run it either off one of the satellites in the home or directly off the router. Either work.
