Orbi Satellite Connection via Ethernet

Question

I am trying to get an ethernet connection through my house built in cables to the satellite while maintaining the wireless output of the orbi router. Is this possible?

I thought I could put the modem to the yellow "internet" then connect ethernet cables to the router (house wired one).

Thanks!

Yes. &nbsp;Setup the system and add the satelites wirelessly first. &nbsp;Once everything is setup, you can connect the satellites by wire to the LAN ports on the Orbi router. &nbsp;It may take 5 minutes or more to stabilize.

Thanks. I think it's working after some blue and magenta color swaps... the network map still says wireless though (dotten line from router to satellite)

Good. &nbsp;It sounds like you are using the app. &nbsp;Try logging into the Orbi router GUI using a web browser and look at the "Attached Devices" page there. &nbsp;It may give you a more accurate report on how the satellite is connected.

The attached devices report has not always been accurate in various firmware releases.
