Best way to wire AXE11000 satellites, switchport or direct between devices?

Question

Have the 3-unit package (RBKE963) with main WAP and 2 satellites.&nbsp; Have the option to connect the satellites directly to the ports on the back of the main WAP.&nbsp; Also have the option of pugging the main WAP and the 2 satellites into switchports on a separate vlan.&nbsp; Is there any benefit to wiring them one way vs the other?

Orbi routers expect the satellites to be connected through the router LAN ports. That's the way they are designed.
