    Hi Darren,

     

    Thanks for your answer!

    If you get into a situation where all satellites are wired, it would still be a very nice addition to the product I think, if it would be possible to reconfigure.

    Anyhow, I bought the product yesterday and I am very enthousiastic about it!

     

    Thanks Darren,

Darren, when the wired ethernet back is engaged on all satelites, does the 5gz back channel signal shut off? I ask because this higher frequency backchannel interferes with my wireless headphones (Astro A50s).

No it does not disable the wireless backhaul.
