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

Good. It sounds like you are using the app. Try logging into the Orbi router GUI using a web browser and look at the "Attached Devices" page there. 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.
