Advice for Wi-Fi to Ethernet Bridge/Adapter
Hello all, I currently have an Orbi Pro setup 1 SRR60 router and 6 SRS60 satellites. 5 are wired backhaul and 1 wireless across a multi home complex. They are installing some power monitoring eq...

I agree and thought this would be the best solution but I am already at 6 satellites which I believe is the limit?
Actually, the Orbi Pro can now support up to 8 satellites. This might be the solution for your power monitoring equipment.

Unfortunately the wired satellites are not near the panels where these devices will be. There are also no cable runs to these locations hence looking for the best way to connect to the existing Wi-Fi .

Rather than buy a whole bunch of devices to stick into your power devices, why not add a satellite and a cheap switch near those devices and add more robustness to your network at the same time? Less things to go wrong and less management hassle. The satellites can connect to the mesh and i doubt those devices will require large data throughput.
