Two RBR50 routers, + one satellite

Can your hardwire an RBR50 router (WAN port connected to cable modem in basement) to another RBR50 router upstairs and have the second router serve as the "primary" router in an RBK50 router+satellit...

Thanks -- but can the upstairs router in AP mode also link/send signal to a satellite elsewhere in the house?

Absolutely.  A common reason to use AP mode is when the ISP device must remain in router mode and the customer wants to avoid a "Double NAT".  Putting their WiFi system into AP mode results in having "one router".  People do it all the time.
