My Orbi router is on one side of the house. 2nd one is about 20ft away center house 1st floor area and the 3rd one is on the 2nd floor on the other end of the house.
All satalites are using wifi but I have an option to tie in 1 satalite to an ethernet port.
So my router and 1 satalite will be using ethernet wire and the center satalite is wifi.
Is this better setup for speed and reliability and back haul or should I leave it alone?
There is a second option and thats moving both satalites to the opposite side of the house (of the router), one on 1st floor and other on 2nd floor and both hardwired using ethernet wire.
Thoughts and suggestions?
