Using Ethernet ports on the Satellite
New to the Orbi system. So the satellite has Ethernet ports... My question is, will I be able to connect a pc, console, or anything for that matter in the ports and have it be supplied with internet? Almost like a powerline adapter but instead the wifi internet shared to the ports?
Yes, you can use it as you describe. I have my Hue hub plugged into one of my satellite ports and have, in the past, had my laptop connected for testing puposes.

It's witchcraft. They are creating wired ethernet out of thin air.
I have an old non-networked HP printer conected to an HP JetDirect print server and I have that plugged into a satellite ethernet port in a room at the upper back corner of the house.
- Thanks for the responses! I'll be cleaning up my set up this weekend(satellite is just sitting in the hallway upstairs).
