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.

I work in technology marketing and can tell you that's not the logic. It should always be existing customer first because they are always the best advocates to get new ones. Netgear though seem to think more like you.

The devs are NOT reading this board -- nor is their workload determined by these posts.
I had no intention of "sparking" a revolt. Just looking for a product that will deliver consistent/stable performance in a MESH environment. The ORBI was GREAT when it worked...I got 3-10X speeds over my existing HAWKING range extender in most areas of my home. Hence, my disappointment in the reliability AND in the somewhat rudimentary software interface that ORBI delivered.
