Orbi Mesh satellite connection via ethernet
I've just purchased an Orbi RBK23 system. I've tried to set it up but one of the satellites will not connect to the router - presumably because the satellite is on the floor below the router and my house has 3' thick stone walls and concrete floors.
I am able to connect the satellite to the router via cable, which I would prefer to do as my internet speed is only 12mbps. Is this possible and can I do this during setup? Any help on how to do this will be much appreciated.

yes you can hardwire in the satellites.
If you have 3ft think brick/concrete walls/floors, that'd be your best chance. Nothing is going to penetrate that. Well done.
In the future,you might get better help in the orbi forums instead of the mobile router forums.
