Mesh Satellite by ethernet cable?

Hi - I want to use the Netgear Nighthawk MK63 Mesh Router and Satellite system in my house.

 

I will have the router and one satellite unit in my house.  Then I want to connect the second satellite by ethernet cable in my guesthouse, which is 300 feet away from the house.  The wifi signal from the Router will not reach the guest house, which is why I want to connect by ethernet cable.

 

Is this possible?  Netgear support says it is possible and there will be no issues.  But honestly, I received other info from Netgear support which has been incorrect.

 

Has anyone done this before?

Yes you can do it.

the only issue you might have is ethernet runs max out around that 300ft.
