It appears that the answer is "Yes", provided that certain gigabit switches are not between the router and satellite.
You might want to look at the community forum for the AX product line and search for "ethernet backhaul".

I have the RBK753 system and both satellites are wired through a NETGEAR 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS316). You can also wire them direct, router to satellites.
