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.

How is your experience with Ubiquity thus far compared to Orb? Similar issues new issues?
I setup a Unifi network.
So i have the Unifi Security Gateway, only 1 UAP-AC-Pro access point and the clould key to control it all.
Pros
- Way better visibility and controll of the network
- Cheaper overall for my setup than orbi
- Wired passthrough on the access points
- Ability to upgrade and add more devices for low cost
- Rock solid
- Lots of firmware upgrades
-PoE devices!!!
Cons
- Difficult to setup (until i got the cloud key)
- Speed is not as high as orbi at the moment, need to tweak it.
- coverage is not a large, but i only have 1 access point. Adding more solves this and the speed issue
Unifi is an enterprise solution, the orbi is and end user solution. Both work well.
