Will there be WAN Ports on Satallites for Orbi Pro System?
Currently, the Orbi system does not offer the ability to connect WAN directly to the satallites, instead only giving the router the ability to connect to the WAN. Will this feature be on the Orbi Pro system to allow for higher throughout in larger implementations?
The satellites in the Orbi Pro are tasked with providing WiFi coverage in their designated area and backhauling that data to the router that they are paired with. As such, there is no need for them to have WAN ports themselves.
