connection with satellite in bottom floor is a no-go.

How can I have the connection with this satellite working?

I have in the bottom floor a cabled connection (via ORBI router). Can I enter in the satellite with a cable, and then spread wi-fi through the satellite? I have tried, but did not suceed.

or otherwise?

Turn off DaisyChaining and see if it makes a difference. Yes you can connect the satellite with a cable, through the satellite, and then spread wi-fi, as long as it is connected to the Orbi router. The satellite has to be configured first, then move it anad plug it in.
