Orbi Mixed Backhaul?

Does it make sense to have some sats wired and some wireless?  Is that even supported?

MasonWorld... Curious to hear how your mixed backhaul is working I have just purchased a three unit set "53" and will likely need a fourth to cover my home.  The 4th will not be connected via ethernet for the backhaul.  Please let me know what your experience has been.

Thanks

Besure if your going to use ethernet back haul and have a need to use network LAN switches, make them non-managed switches. There are problems surrounding managed switches and Orbi systems.
