theoretically it should work.
But dang is that an expensive setup with consumer gear.
Why not check into the business line of go with the insight line of devices? The RBSE960's are almost $600.
You could go with the WAX630EP's for much cheaper, supports POE++, has the business class setup. Probably can get it done cheaper and with the business grade equipment.

yeah i could do that but i have been eyeballing the 960 for a very long time and i finally have the money to put it to work.
but i know for a fact, that i will still have areas that will either have no signal or very weak signal even with the 4 satellite setup.
hence i have the money for the TP-Link's re705x as well. or can you recommend some better extenders for 960 series?

For that size of home, a RBR and just one satellite would be enough, maybe too with the power reduced on the router for the MESH system. Too Much Wifi: https://youtu.be/UR0viMLISz4
