Can the Orbit router or Satellite connect to an existing 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi access point?
I have a wireless mobile hotspot with 2.4 and 5ghz bands that I would like to route the connections to the Orbi. Is the Orbi router limited to a wired internet input connection? If so, can the satellite be used standalone as a wifi and Ethernet hub?

not actually sure what you are asking here , the orbi sats will only connect to the orbi router via its dedicated 5 gig back haul at this time , there is plans to allow back haul via ethernet esentially turning the orbi sat into a wireless access point
