RBKE960 - wired backhaul over 10Gbe port
Hello all, I have an RBKE963 (960, 3 pieces) system, with one router (RBRE960) and two satellites (RBSE960). I have a 2Gbps fibre connection to the home. The router is configured as an Access...
Thank you. It sounds like a missed opportunity to me, as this would give us 2x >1Gbe ports to play with.
I wonder if this would be something that Netgear could change with a software modification, and would consider it for such cases.
You see, I have my main switch some 20m away from the router on a different floor, so using that ethernet backhaul is a must for me. The other satellite (the one currently on the 2.5Gbe port) is behind two thick brick walls, so also needed.
This might force me to put a smaller 2.5Gbps switch next to the router just for backhauling (what a waste) and the perhaps introduce another variable: backhauling over daisy-chained switches, which may be another problem.
More testing to do.
Cheers.

Any progress on this?
