Let me rephrase the question.  I live in a house with old plaster walls with 5 layer of lathe in each wall that makes wireless signal transmission quite difficult.  I currently have Orbi RBR50 router & satellite.  In order to have everything on same network (ROKU downstairs), router is downstairs.  I have a hard wire running to upstairs office (front of house).  In order to increase signal strength, could I connect this hard wire as input to upstairs satellite (which port to use for input, do I need to reporgram it?).  Would this increase signal strength?  I'm expanding the system to reach a back house and want to put another satellite (which I have ordered) in the back of the house to provide a signal to backhouse above the garage.  Is there a signal strength advantage to running another wire from upstairs 1st satellite to back of the house and connecting second satellite by hard wire (if so, what port do I plug input into, do I need to reporgram it?).  Or am I just as well off letting the wireless do it's thing?

 

Can a satellite just be plugged into the network rather than daisy-chained b/c I have an existing network port upstairs back of house.

 

Running firmware (router & satellite) V2.5.2.4
