Orbi wired satellite wih WAN port in AP mode

It is a very common scenario when expand existing network:

Some rooms have ethernet cable but wireless signal is not good. and some rooms don't have cable but wireless back-hauld signal is OK.  Set the Orbi system in AP mode, and connect cable to Orbi router's WAM port, and one satelitte is connect with cable, and one satelite is wireless conneeted.

Currenlty, Orbi AX doens't suppot this scenario. It requires the wired sattile connect with Oribi router's LAN port.  When cable pluged in Orbi router LAN port, you can see the wired satellite but the wireless one show disconnected. When cable conntected with WAN port, wireless satellite works but wired one disappeared.
