Orbi Pro Mini includes Satellite as Attached Device even if wired to router
The Orbi Pro Mini Satellite is wired via Ethernet + switch to the same network as the Router (in Access Point Mode).
But in the web interphase under Attached Devices the satellite appears under "Wireless Devices" with SSID (blank) 5G. Should it not appear under wired because it is using an Ethernet backhaul or do I need to do set it up to create an ethernet backhaul?

You put both are wired to a switch.
Is it going
gateway---->SRR wan port--->lan port from SRR--->Switch--->Satellites
I see a lot time where people just connect the SRR to the switch with its wan port and then the satellites.
It needs to have the SRR wired to the gateway with the wan port and then the srr going to the switch via lan port
No, it is in Access Point Mode so:
Router <---->Smart Switch <----->Satellite
<------>SXR30
Thats why you're running into issues with that setup.
Its not wired properly.
What is Ethernet backhaul and how do I set it up on my Orbi WiFi System? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
