Orbi router in bridge mode over ethernet?
I am need of an Ethernet connection to a satellite in a separate house. Since a sattelite will not support an Ethernet connection, can a second Orbi router be used in bridge mode over Ethernet? Will...
Yes, you could connect a 2nd RBR50 in access point mode at the end of an Ethernet cable in the 2nd house. I would strongly suggest from the 1st Orbi Router. It would have a separate wireless network from the other Orbi system, but that should be fine, being in a separate house and all. And if you need to add a satellite for that separate house, just add it as normal to the router/ap.

Thank you for your reply!! I'm confused about when you say the second router would have a "separate wireless network from the other Orbi system". I would like to have the second Orbi router in the 2nd house be a part of the same network as the first router (shared printer, drive, etc..). My goal is for the second router (AP/Bridge mode) to be another access point on the same network as the main house. It would be out of range from other satellites and that's why it is connected via Ethernet to the network in the main house. Will this work?
Thanks again! Your help is immensely appreciated!
