satellite ethernet connect to a second router? RBK50

Question

I have an exterior metal building that blocks the wifi signal. Can I put a satellite outside the building and then ethernet connect to a second router inside the building?
(the router/satellite set is cheaper)

Weatherproofing: If you're planning to place the satellite outside, you'll need to make sure it's protected from the elements. The satellite is designed for indoor use, so you may need to find a way to weatherproof it.

Netgear does make an outdoor repeater that works with Orbi and other routers.
