Thanks for the confirmation. Is the wired backhaul all or nothing? Meaning I need to wire all satellites back to the Orbi base or will it still help if I have 1 satellite wires back to base and the other is wireless?

Any combination is acceptable. Some can be WiFi, others can be ethernet. Another satellite can Daisy Chain off of an existing satellite with either ethernet or WiFi no matter how that first satellite is connected.
