Thanks PLemans, you truly are a guru. ONe final questions if I may - if I want to connect both the Satellite, can I introduce a gigiabit switch between the router and both the satellites ?

ie : 

Router -> gigbabit switch ---> Satellite 1

                                       ---> Satellite 2

 

Will that should work ?

Best Regards

 

Pete

I've done it with the orbi setup but I don't have the MK series to try it out. 
I don't see why it would cause issues. 

maybe Christian_R could confirm.
