Orbi - Ethernet connection
I am looking at deploying the Orbi AC3000 in my house. I think I will get the coverage needed (smaller system is slightly too small for my house). The question that I had was the following ...

You could use a set of powerline adapters in the room for the linux computer if you needed it hardwired. You'd have less worry about wireless interference plus the powerline should be on the same circuit so your connection would be great.
And it'd allow you to place the other satellite somewhere else for better coverage.
So the Powerline adapter will interface correctly with the Orbi mesh network?

If you have one plugged into the orbi router and one into the linux computer it will work. the orbi itself doesn't support powerline without an adapter.

Seems like an expensive solution to get copper to my linux box but might be my only option.
