What cisco router are you using?
Are you using it to expand your ethernet points or what is the point of it?
Are you using it in a router function or access point function?
Just trying to ascertain as the satellites need to connect (even through a switch) back to the primary router.
You did a decent job of laying out your system but its still a little confusing.

Hi plemans
Thank you for you answer. For more information please below see my answers on you questions. Please also see the picture showing the scheme of my network. I hope it will give you a picture what I have and what I am planning to do.
What cisco router are you using?
I have small router Cisco RV260 (without Wi-Fi)
Are you using it to expand your ethernet points or what is the point of it?
This router is a basic device in my network. It connect my network with ISP
Are you using it in a router function or access point function?
I use cisco as router function (primary and only router installed in my network).

If you were wanting to do it and still use the cisco here's how I'd go.
isp---->Cisco router-----SXR30---->cheap unmanaged switch---->Devices/SXS30's.
You'd only connect the SXR30 to the cisco. that'd let you keep the VPN features of the cisco and still be able to use all the vlan/backhaul features of the netgear.

Hi
Thank you for you Feedback.
I have analyzed wiring at my house again and it looks that doing some small rework I could connect devices as presented in attached file.
Could you please be so kind and let me know if my idea would work?
I mean is this optimal wiring from capacity perspective of Orbi system?
