Wired Backhaul
My refund period for my Orbi is about to expire. Can a moderator comment (hopefully a NetGear Employee) as to when/if we will get wired backhaul? If it is in the next six months, I will keep my Orb...
Nick,
Here's something I posted this morning on another thread for the same topic:
I've added Ethernet Backhaul into my list of Candidate Features for a future Firmware update. I can't yet commit to a delivery date, but wanted to acknowledge that this is a valid use case and something we're looking seriously at.

Here is you issue and there's no sign of a fix. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-backhall-signal-dropping-to-Zero/td-p/1276320
Netgear keeps up with the competition due to fake reviews.

After using Orbi for two months, I am convinced that the mesh system of devices does not work as designed. Without Ethernet backhaul, the Orbi system starts off at a huge disadvantage. Add in the network drop issues that people are experiencing on the wireless backhaul. I have switched back to my NightHawk - never had any problems and it is back to full speed for the network as well.
I wish they would include the wired backhaul feature in the next Beta
Yes please. The Orbi wireless performance is great and the system is a huge upgrade, but for those of us unable to put the router in the middle of the house wired backhaul would be a huge improvement. Either that or the ability to chain the backhaul between satellites (real mesh).
