Orbi RBK753 wired backhaul
I am buying an Orbi AX4200 mesh system with one router and two satellites. They will be configured in a daisy chain (Router - Sat 1 - Sat 2). Is it possible to set up just the furthest satellite (Sat 2) for a wired backhaul to the router, leaving the closest satellite (Sat 1) with wireless backhaul?

Yes.
Thanks! I haven't found much info on the setup proceedure for this...will Orbi automatically configure the wired backhaul when I connect Sat 2 to Router via wired connection?
I recommend syncing the RBS wirelessly first the the RBR, then after they are fully connected, connect the ethernet cable to to the RBS from the RBR.
Thanks again for the advice! My only remaining concern on this is that my wiring for the Router - Sat 2 backhaul is older Cat-5. I'm still thinking this will be better than wireless daisy chain backhaul, but not sure.
Hi - Just wanted to say this is precisely what I do (though my wired connection to Sat 2 is using Homeplug and not proper ethernet) and it works very well. I tried a straight daisy chain and find that this method works better for me, perhaps due to the particular configuration of my place but perhaps because one hop to the router is always going to be a bit more efficient that two hops.
Thanks for letting us know...
