Orbi ethernet backhaul and disconnects

I was wondering if anyone had tried the ethernet backhaul option to see if that fixed the disconects and resets that are occuring with the orbi system? I was also wondering if the ethernet backhaul made the system just seperate access points or is it still a network (i.e. do the orbi satelites find the orbi router and negotiate the conections, roaming, smart conect, beamforwarding, etc...). What if the orbi router is in ap mode using a seperate router, can you still use ethernet backhaul? also, can you conect the satelites to different swiches or do they have to be on the same switch?
