Is it possible?

I think that this type of connection should be better than wireless connection, isn't it?

Thanks in advance.

If you have Ethernet throughout the place, then you should be able to connect a router to the network and then attach wifi "repeaters" around the place.

This is known as "wired backhaul". The Orbi technology can certainly handle this.

That would actually be faster and more reliable then having wifi links between the router and the satellites.
