As FURRYe38 pointed out, Orbi routers (In 'router' or 'access point' mode) require that the satellite are connected either (a) via WiFi, or (b) to the LAN side of the router. (which is NOT what the diagram proposed) There have been numerous posts on the Forum describing problems with the proposed design.
I question the basic premise. With the existing investment in Insight managed professional equipment, what is the point in dropping an Orbi router into the mix? Why not install some business class WiFi access points (at MUCH lower cost) which support features which are part of the PRO60x and managed switch?
I need minimum 3 ethernet ports at each end. From what I've seen for example wbe750 doesn't have extra ones.
I also want wifi 7 so from AP that netgear provides I can only use WBE750 or WBE710.
Could install some non managed switches at the remote ends for additional ports. Something small with 5 or 8 ports?
Since the WBEs are mostly PoE supporting and only have 1 LAN port, could get a PoE switch as well at the remote location to connect a WBE at the remote location.
I have a GS305P I use when I have one of my WBEs deployed.
