RBK853 BackHaul
Hi Guys, I've searched the forums and cannot find the answer but apologies if it out there and has been asked before. I am 99% sold on purchasing the RBK853 WiFi 6 mesh system but have a question ...

Anything is possible, however if the RBR and RBS have GOOD status and get full on 2400Mpbs backhaul connection rates, then this could have better performances vs 1000Mbps on the wire though wire mostly has the best stability and performance vs wireless. Something you can test and see what works best for your environment.

IF the RBS are ethernet connected to the RBR, then the RBS will always use Ethernet backhaul for data flow to the RBR.

Thank you for your answer. Not ideal for what I had planned but at least I know for sure so I can make an adjustment to my setup.
I understand it's a "how long is a piece of string" question but will I see much performance loss from my PC/Nas if I did use the Ethernet cable as described above and it was also used as back haul?
