Wired connection to satalite instead of router

Dear community,
Can my wired speed be lower when I connect 3 wired devices to a wired satalite instead of the router?

I am asking cause I don’t know if I want to pull 1 utp from the router to satalite and then 3 devices trough the satalite or 4 utps from the router.

So it should not lower the quality/speed of my netwerk if I connect devices wired to a wired satalite instead of the devices wired to the router.

You should not see lower quality if the cable between the Router and the Satellite has good quality. On the contrary you might get even better quality in this case if you will need shorter cables to the devices from the Satellite than what you would need from the Router.

Good luck!

Yes you can. 

 

You can also add on a non managed non green ethernet lan switch, ports 5 up to 48 if you like on the back of the RBR if you need additional LAN ports.
