NAS eth into Mesh1, TV eth into Mesh2, stream movies from Mesh1 to Mesh2 wirelessly

I live in a 2 story house which does not have built in network cables.

My NAS in on the upper level, while my TV is on the ground floor.

If I connect the NAS using ethernet into Mesh1, TV ethernet into Mesh2, am I able to stream movies from Mesh1 to Mesh2 wirelessly? Will the NAS transfer data into the Mesh1 unit through ethernet, then wirelessly into Mesh2 which will then go into the TV using the ethernet cable?

    I've actually hooked mine up like that before. I ran a plex server directly connected to one of my satellites to stream to my tv connected to a different satellite. It worked great while I was using it. 

    I take it you mean mesh1/2 as satellites?
