Orbi - backhaul and fronthaul
This article fails to answer the question "What is Ethernet backhaul?" https://kb.netgear.com/000051205/What-is-Ethernet-backhaul-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System Can someone explain please? does wired backhaul replace the wireless link between router and satellite? Is it two-way?

that article says "Delivering data to your devices is one thing, but getting it back to whichever node is connected to an outside access point (like your modem) is another thing entirely. This return is known as "backhaul," and it's an important aspect that shouldn't be overlooked when choosing a mesh system." -- therefore backhaul is one-way. Yes?
Where's a hardcore network engineer when you need one, eh? :)
Are you going to set up wired back haul?
Most any networking over RJ45 is bi-directional.
