Orbi WiFi System
I would like to know if the satelite needs to be hard wired to a device to receive singal or will it just send the wifi signal with just being plugged in and wireless linked to the orbi mother router...
hi
the router must be in the middle of the two sats as the orbi currently only works in a star topology
so would have to be
sat -----------router ----------- sat

The satellite does not have to be hard wired to the main router; it connects wirelessly. Be aware that unlike some other Mesh systems each satellite has to communicate directly with the router. Currently there is no daisy-chaining satellite to satellite communication.
Can you explain what you mean by "here is no daisy-chaining satellite to satellite communication."
