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.

This thread has and SHOULD continue to grow to show support for ethernet backhaul. As a developer myself, I typically watch threads to see how many users are requesting features. When enough people ask for it, it validates (to Netgear) that their customers want this. If the thread goes dead, then nobody else wants it and they won't build the feature. I follow this thread and hope Netgear does eventually speak up or patch this, because I like their brand and their products.
Thank you Melliott716 - your comment validated how I felt as well.
peteytesting if you don't care about this thread and you think it's a waste of time, that's fine. You don't have to follow and just say mean things - it doesn't add any value to the topic. Yes, I did expect the feature. As I said before, most other competitors (almost every) have this feature. If you get a burger at every restaurant and one doesn't have a bun, you will be disappointed even though it only said hamburger on the menu.
