Orbi RBK353 - can a router be connected to a satellite's ethernet port, to add a 5GHz subnet?
We have an Orbi RBK353 in the house, with a satellite servicing the kids' PCs upstairs. They play games and copy files between them, which is very slow using this Orbi model.
So I was wondering if one can link a standard wifi modem/router WAN port to the satellite (for internet access to the router) and create a dedicated 5GHz network for them via the router. Is that possible?

No.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
