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
Steve
Out of curiosity how big is your home and how are the 3 devices performing?
I bought the "53" as well expecting that the performance (as in distance covered) wouldn't be as good as advertised, but I have to say it DOES cover a lot of ground and I have been able to get good performance even with 1 router and 1 satellite. I'm debating reducing the wifi TX or removing 1 satellite.

My house is just under 8,300sqft. Three stories with 2x3,100sqft floors and 1x2,100sqft floor. I currently just have the 3 pack (Router + 2 satelites). I am going to see how that works coverage wise. Add a 3rd satelite if I still have dead spots.
