Orbi setup with ATT router, ethernet backhaul
I recently purchased this system, trying to eliminate dead spots and awkward wifi transitions in my home. I have an ATT 5268AC modem/router, with Fiber.
The plan: ATT gateway LAN -> Orbi Rout...
I appreciate the info, sounds like I will also have to wait on the firmware update. Since part of my reason for having that dedicated Ethernet line was to feed my IP camera system, I may just connect the camera system (who's hub is located at the Satellite 1 location) directly into the ATT router via the Ethernet cable, to keep speeds up. I was hoping to plug the camera system into the Orbi satellite, and take advantage of the Ethernet backhaul for both.
Alternatively, I could easily return the whole system for a refund which is also tempting. Is there a comparable system that would have functional Ethernet backhaul and be a little more reliable? This firmware nonsense reaks of poor quality.

Have you tried the ehternet back haul?
People do have working ethernet backhaul. Mines working.
Good Luck.
