Wired connection between Router and Satellite
I installed my new ORBI system and I must say it is great. That being said, does the solution support a WIRED Ethernet connection between the main router and a satellite ? That way, it does not use the backhaul channel and the satellites are connected at full speed with no interference

No wired backhaul option available at this time - not sure if that will happen sometime in the future or not.
The Orbi was designed purposefully & specifically designed folks who don't have the capability or interest in stringing ethernet all over their house - if you already have extended ethernet runs available, then there are better (and likely cheaper!) solutions to consider rather than Orbi.
