Feature Request: Orbi Satellite Ethernet Backhaul
As good as Orbi looks on paper I don't understand Y you would cut yourself so short and not support Eithernet backhaul for the satellites, I have 5 locations needing a system like this but without su...
Let me acknowledge that our customer base has been clamoring for this feature for a while, and we are trying to be responsive to their needs. To provide context on why it's taking a while to get it out, during the first quarter, the Orbi Engineering team was focused on bringing out the two new products (RBK30 & RBK40) to market. Now that it's accomplished, we're actively working on bringing this feature and a couple of other interesting, market-requested features to you.

yes, the satellites couldn't possibly use all the 1gbps ethernet port has to offer. So not techincally triple (3gbps), but rather 3 x 867 = 2,601 Mbps
Either way, ethernet backhaul is the best way to go.
Free up RF Spectrum, and allow much higher speeds for wireless clients.
Right now everything is limited to 1gbps, because they all end up back to the router, so all satellites and router share one 1gbps ethernet port :(

-----------------------
major problem with both is that the upstream from the router or switch is 1 gig as well so no matter what config it aint going to make the internet any faster
using ethernet wont free up any spectrum as you guys will want both the 5 gig upper and lower bands for client use and thus NO difference
