Orbi Pro Mini showing unattached wired (directly) devices as Attached Devices: Normal?
My setup:
Router<--->managed switch <----> Orbi Pro Mini (AP) mode
Under Wired Attached Devices, it is showing devices connected to the managed switch (i.e not directly connected to the LAN ports of the Orbi.) Is this normal or I need to fix my configuration?
*This is in addition to my other (related?) inquiry where wired backhaul won't work in the same setup.

In the last post you didn't have it wired right either.
Things aren't going to show up properly when wired wrong.
gateway/modem----wan port on SXR---lan port---->switch----->satellites/devices
And if the switch is handling dhcp and you want it before the orbi, the satellites need be connected to the lan port if using the wired backhaul. Not through the switch
