Sattelite question

Hi, do I need to connect the sattelite trough an RJ45 as well or does the sattelte box connects to the router trough the wifi ?

  • Satellites backhaul to the router in one of two methods.... wired or wirelessly.

     

    Wirelessly is most certainly the more common method -- and typically works right out of the box. 

     

    Orbi has dedicated internal radios to perform this high-speed backhaul.

     

    You can, however, use a wired connection, based on your own scenario (perhaps the wireless backhaul cannot reach the satellite).
