    No. it won't function as a satellite. 

    You can hardwire it in and use it in access point mode but it won't integrate with the other devices like a satellite.

      Hmm figured as much. I might just try out one pair and see how it does.

      Does anyone know of a sensible and high speed way to connect my wired NAS over Wi-Fi? I can’t seem to find any Wi-Fi 6 to LAN bridges.

        Start with a network cable connecting the NAS direct to the router. Reliable, the best speed available for this undefined NAS, .... Wi-Fi isn't made for this. Unless you strongly believe in marketing. Possible compromise connect it to the SXS80 satellite where i understand you have two available.
