Orbi Ethernet Backhaul Between Satellites Only

My setup consists of 1 RBR50 router in a guesthouse which is wear my cable model is located and 3 RBS50s inside of the main house. 2 of the satellites are able to make a good connection with the router, but the 3rd is not.

 

I'm considering digging up some turf and running conduit underground so I can setup an ethernet backhaul between all devices, but am wondering if it is possible to just use ethernet between the 3 RBS50s in the main house and then rely on the wireless backhaul to get back to the router in the guest house. This would mostly save some money as I wouldn't have to pay to have the horizontal drilling done to get underneather some brick walkways.

Re: Orbi Ethernet Backhaul Between Satellites Only

Yes, my understanding is that any link can be ethernet or WiFi.  So, in the middle example, the link between router and satellite #1 could be WiFi, and the remaining two satellites could daisy chain off the first one.
