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.

When is this becoming a reality ? Been almost 1yr now since the above update.
Huh? Did you read any of the recent posts in this thread, or check any of the recent firmware updates, before posting? It is a reality.
Wired backhaul for satellites is good, and good update. Wired connecting for 2 routers on single network should be next.
Would have liked capacity to use a linked second router (even if wired) as a 2nd hub on same network since each router can only support three satellites.
Bottom line is that I should have bought the biggest strongest model with the biggest strongest satellites. Or, a different system that's more expandable. Rbk44 just doesn't get the job done.
Live and learn. Thanks for reply.
