You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)

Many questions apply to different types of device, so there may be useful responses here. However, the Orbi Pro Tri-Band Business WiFi System is not much like a standard router, so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Orbi Pro - WiFi for Small Business - NETGEAR Communities

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

Am I missing any settings?

Best guess is you will always see the wireless backhaul status, even if there is a mostly reliable wired backhaul. BruceGuo please advise. 

ChristineT please ensure all newer hardware - kits as well as individual routers and satellites SKUs - are becoming available for product tagging in the community.
