No, but this is a suggestion under consideration.

 

Part of the beauty of the Orbi solution is how it effectively connects the router to the satellites wirelessly. There is very good penetration.

This is great to hear.  I am building a house and need my wireless running in the next two weeks.  I'm planning on using a Cisco router with VPN , but want a good solution for multiple WAPs around the house.  I have wired connections in various logical places for WAPs.
