Dear community, we are living in a house with cellar, ground floor, 1st floor and top floor.
Between cellar and ground floor there is a reinforced concrete floor.
Internet connection is only possible on the top floor.
Is it possible to connect the orbi router on the top floor to the internet router, connect one satellite on the ground floor via air and connect the second satellite in the cellar by a lan cable to the satellite on the ground floor?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to do a LAN connection between top and ground floor ...
I have also attached an illustration of the current situation.
Thank you very much for your help!
Cheers Herwig

Yes. The first "hop" can be WiFi and the second "hop" can be ethernet cable. People report doing this all the time.
