New House - Orbi Options
I am currently having a new house built. The builder installs a 30" network cabinet with a homerun to the exterior of the home for ISP service. They aslo provide Cat 6 to 2 ceiling loctions for PoE...
ISP modem to swtich then to Orbi or you can go from ISP modem and have both RBR and Switch connected to the modem in parallel.
IF you want to connect the RBS wired, then you can follow this:
Is there any advantages or disadvantages to either set up you mentioned. I will have enough ports on the switch to backhaul the RBS too.
if you wire connect the RBS, then you'll need a switch after the RBR or directly connect the RBS to the BACK of the RBR. The connection configuration for the RBS needs to be at the RBR, not in front or at the modem or switch in front of the RBR.

So if I am reading this correctly I would do the following:
ICP Router/Modem to RBR
RBR back to switch
RBS to switch
I would still be able to use the Obris as APs and the ISP modem/router as my router for the network
