Orbi with Ethernet backhaul connections from a switch and Orbi Router

How Many Orbi RBK40 can you connect together via an Ethernet backhaul configuration from a Switch (Netgear 24 port switch - unmanaged). Was looking to place 4 * RBK40's into the switch and 1 * RBK40 acting as the main router providing dynamic IP address allocation to all devices around the property (physical connection and Wireless connections). Or would it better to use a Nighthawk as the main router instead?

Thanks

I believe NG intended design is to have 1 RBR## router working as the main router or main AP for AP Mode and then use RBS## units as the satelite extenders. Seen other posters having up to 4-6 RBS units connected to 1 RBR## main router.
