Orbi 6 AX6000 - Is Wired Backhaul possible using a wired Hub?
I have an RBK 852 with the RBR 850 Router in AP mode connected to my Verizon Router and the RBS 850 Satellite in the basement. The Orbi Router and Satellite wireless backhaul work but i think it's at the edge of its range. I have a wired netgear G520S hub near the Satellite. Can i get a wired backhaul by connecting one of the ports on the Satellite via an ethernet cable to the hub? Everything is on the same sub-net. If so, do the two devices automatically switch to the wired backhaul or do you have to reboot them? Is there any indication that the wired backhaul is active?
