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.

Is there a notification list for wired backhaul that we can get on? That's the least you guys can do. Create a feedback system or page that we can get updates on. You may not be able to comment on upcoming releases, due to those dates slipping, or features getting pushed into new products. You've got a lot of people that want to wait for your product, even though everyone else supports this today. Wireless inherently fluctuates, and wired backhaul is the best possible solution.
There are many users like myself, that want to purchase an Orbi system due to the performance characteristics as tested by many third part sites, but I won't purchase until Wired Backhaul is available.

and this is where it makes little sense to me , those sites are reporting performance based on its wireless only backhaul , once you remove the wireless backhaul its nothing more than a few wireless access points that would have no greater benefit than if you purchased wireless access points in the first place
it is coming just cant say when \
