Hello guys, I want to jump to Orbi 970 but I have one qestion before purchasing. Will Orbi 970 run on below setup? PR60X-->GS724TPv3-->ORBI (router) + 2 satelites? Like in drawing. Thanks f...
Thanks. I now about this backhual.
I already have PR and GS and the best solution as I see it right now would be to spread all 3 orbis at different points of the house connecting them to the GS.
If I would use it as AP is there any chance that the system will not work 100% coreectly?
I also checked some of NG AP products but I need some ethernet ports for the network.
As long as the GS switch is connected behind the Orbi RBR and the satellites connected at the GS behind the orbi RBR. Router or AP mode. Will work correctly.
If you use the smart managed switch in between the RBR and RBS, then you'll need to keep the RBR in router mode and configure VLAN on the switch to ensure the RBS work correctly when a managed switch is in the mix: https://kb.netgear.com/000066653/How-to-resolve-Orbi-Ethernet-backhaul-issues-when-using-a-NETGEAR-Fully-Managed-Switch-or-Smart-Switch
Orbi AP mode will not work correctly if a managed switch is in the mix if RBS are ethernet connected.
