Can backhaul be done without having all orbi’s connected to the same switch?
Great thread!
I just purchased these Orbi’s. I’m looking to do wired backhaul. I’m using a separate switch connected to a MOCA adapter on each floor of my house. Can backhaul be done without having all orbi’s connected to the same switch?
RBS can be connected directly behing the RBR or to a switch that is also connected behind the RBR. Just know that any RBS that is ethernet connected, need to be always connected behind the RBR, along with any Switches that a RBS maybe connected too, these switches needs to be connected behind the RBR.

Non managed switches are recommended for ease of setup and configuration with RBS.
NETGEAR GS-105/108v4 and GS308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems.
Can also mixed RBS connections as well, one ethernet connected, one wirelessly connected to the RBR.
