Wired Connection to Satellite
Is it possible to use Ethernet to connect router and satellites?
Too little to late for me. I returned the Orbi due to lack of wired backhaul. I would have kept it if it had it. Assumed from the getgo that it had the feature since its so basic, and all other compatition has it. Also including mutiple ethernet ports gave me the faslse belief.
Going with another system with this feature.
What other system are you looking at just curious.
Unifi devices, which is completly different than orbi or any of the mesh systems.
Have there been any updates on this topic in regards to existing Orbi systems allowing connectivity between router and satellites via ethernet?
Thanks
