Orbit Ethernet backhaul with satellites on different switch

Hello All,

  From the KB article (https://kb.netgear.com/000051205/What-is-Ethernet-backhaul-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System), I understand that you can connect the satelites to the router via a switch.

 

  Do the router and satelites need to be on the same switch or can the satelites be on differnt switch within the same network?

 

Thank you.

  • Can be on a different switch as long as the switch is connected behind the RBR in series or Daisy Chain.
