How do you set up an Orbi Satellite via Ethernet?
I see that it's possible to ad an orbi Satellite via Ethernet but I don't see specific instructions on the process. When I power it on and plug it into my Ethernet backhaul it does not work. The ap...
I followed this procedure a couple of months ago and it didn't work.
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Might try this again after doing a factory reset on the router and set up from scratch. Wired back is working for most...

Looks like daisy chain was checked the whole time.
I have some new information that may help. I was troublshooting some Sonos isues with their support and they discovered that some of my devices were assigned a public IP and some private. It looks like the devices that were connected to my Garage Orbi were assigning public IPs. I unplugged the lan cable and let the Orbi fall back to wireless backhaul. Then it assigned private IPs and now all my problems are fixed.
At this point I din't think it's worth trying to get the lan cable to work anymore.
How was the satellite connected when wired? Did you have it connected to the Orbi router? If so, any devices connected to the sattellite should have had a private IP address from the Orbi router.
Wired back haul works only if you have the satellite(s) connected to the Orbi router.
