Orbi Pro Design Validation (SRK60B06) 6 Satellite Deployment with Wired Backhauls
Hello all,
I've included a rough diagram I was hoping to get validation for. I'm less concerned about coverage as the diagram isn't to scale but more interested in whether the wired back...

About setting up the Orbi Pro System for Ethernet backhaul, kindly access the article below and see the recommended network setup:
What is Ethernet backhaul and how do I set it up on my Orbi WiFi System?
Make sure that the firmware version of the Orbi Pro System should be v2.1.2.18 or higher for Ethernet backhaul to work. The latest firmware version is v2.3.5.106 and you can download it here.

Hi DaneA,
Thank you for your response. I reviewed the link and just want to make sure the wired backhaul will work correctly if going from one switch to another before the router. In my diagram you will see 2 satellites pluging into a switch (Playhouse) then that switch is connected to the main switch (main house). The router is connected to the main switch.
If this works, are there any special considerations in how I power on and sync things?
Thanks again,

Should be fine unless you have something special going on in your switches that would effect IP 4/6 routing (port forwarding, packet shaping, etc...)
