Hybrid backhaul of Ethernet and 5Ghz
I have a house where my 1Gbps Internet connection will be on the G/F while I have a cat-6 wired Ethernet between the G/F and the 1/F. However, I do have a separate unit right next to it where I don’t have a wired connection and would like to place a satellite in. Can I then run my backhual partially wired and with the third unit using 5Ghz wireless?
And I would like to add an outdoor satellite at some point, so can it be done?

If your looking for 900Mb+- speeds on a 1Gb ISP service, you RBK50 doesn't seem to hand those speeds on wired testing:

You may want to get into the RBK30 or RBK40 series as those seem to give near 940Mb+- speeds on wired testing.
Wireless will never see 900Mb speeds. Usually maxes out at 400-600Mb depending on client side HW.
