Can you do something like this (either choose option 1 in both places, or option 2 in both places)? Bridge mode and AP mode are basically the same thing, and, generally, you only want one device acting as a router on your network. That should be true of your current setup, as well as if/when you switch to an Orbi setup instead. Also, the only ethernet link you need is between your modem and the Orbi router. Depending on distance and obstacles between the Orbi router and satellites, you can just use the built-in wireless backhaul.

Yea I'll likely be going with this setup. Seems that it will be the easiest to set up the hardest part will be to run another cable.
Thank you for your advice.
