Great documenting the wired backhaul glitchiness. I don't doubt some people have gotten it working but for now it's not ready for primetime in my opinion. Notably though, the wireless backhaul is pretty amazing. I have ethernet capability and would like wired backhaul but have observed the same type of glitchiness u noted. Until that stablizes by firmware, I'm going to run wireless. Rest assured you are getting better wireless backhaul speeds than some wired systems out there (notably google wifi ethernet backhaul which got me lower speeds vs orbi wireless backhaul!!). 1 have 1 orbi and 3 satellites and getting amazing speeds all throughout. (I'm keeping the PC's on wired ethernet via a switch). Eventually hope to hook the orbi satellites via wired one-day.
