Network setup validation with the Orbi RBR852 and a switch

Question

Hi there,&nbsp;I'm planning on buying a Netgear Orbi set for my new home, but before taking the plunge I wanted to validate my idea for the setup. Hope that's okay.For my home I will be going for the set with one satellite, which should be enough (140m2/1500sq ft). I will be setting up a wired backhaul and my biggest concern would be the Ethernet switch between the router and the satellite. This is all fine as shown in the Orbi documentation but I want to add additional devices to that switch and worry about a performance hit for the satellite end.&nbsp;Please have a look at the diagram in the attachment and let me know what you think.&nbsp;Looking forward to your feedback.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Yes, that will work.

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 📡
