Is it possible to use Ethernet to connect router and satellites?

Maybe he just expected it to have the same functionality as every other AP and switch with the added capability of wireless backhaul such that the product was a net improvement over the industry standard, not a poorly-conceived trade-off of a crippled AP with an added band rather than a more flexible AP.
I'm not in a position to tell strangers what combination of wired and wireless they need for their particular situation. I'm quite sure that you aren't either.

You have a point. But its kind of like asking Tesla to FIX their OVERSIGHT that their cars don't use gasoline, because you can't always recharge your new Tesla everywhere. Dude, buy a Prius.
That being said, Linksys Velop does do wired backhaul automatically AFTER you set it up initially for wireless during install.

yes but like all these mesh systems if the ethernet backhaul is present it will always use it over its wifi backhaul and them make buying a mesh system useless and over priced as wireless access points will achieve exactly the same thing
