You are not limited to one wired satellite.... on my setup I have a switch "downstream" of the RBR850.... I have two satellites (RBS5's) connected via CAT5 back to the switch. My RBS850 is wireless back to the RBR850.
Summary: run additional CAT 5 or 6 to the location you want to put another satellite and it will work fine.
