Yes, but in a mesh the satellites also communicate with each other. (Even, if the backhaul is wireless.) If the backhaul is wireless, then the satellite that is farthest from the router is held back more due to it having to depend on other nearby satellites, wirelessly that is, to still be able to reach the router. BUT... placing a satellite too close to the router and/or too close to another satellite causes interference in that area to be so severe that it is what effectively becomes the dominant factor, enough for it to degrade performance. Distance is not the only factor, though. There exist quite a few other things that either weaken the signal or block it completely. So, exactly because it is so multifactorial, wired backhaul very often proves to be the only way to get a mesh system to perform well enough for it to be truly worth.Obviously with the wireless connection, the satellites can't be too far from the router.
