Ethernet backhaul on orbi
I need to buy an Orbi, and my research says the using the ethernet backhaul doesn't free up the wireless 5GHz previous used for wireless backhaul. There's no point if this band can't be used again wi...
Would this mean that if I want to make use of wired backhaul it would be be better to use Rbk40 system as it is cheaper and still has gigabit ethernet? The 2.4 and 5 GHz fronthaul is still the same if I understand correctly. If I therefore do not plan to use the wireless backhaul there should be no difference in performance. Correct?
If your connecting the RBS via wired and not wireless then you could get the 40 series for it's front haul wireless abiliites. Just now that if you switch to wireless backhaul, you'll be limited to 866Mb on the back end instead of 1700Mb.
