Is it possible to connect the Orbi at a location away from the home router using a CAT 5 internet connector that is hardwired to the router?  Put into the internet port on the orbi?

As long as the yellow (WAN) port on the Orbi is connected to the ISP device using an ethernet cable less than 100m long, it should work fine.  Most ethernet cables these days are Cat5e or Cat6.
