Orbi 970 wired backhaul?
My Orbi 970 (3 unit config) arrives tomorrow. I currently have an ASUS AXE11000 system (2 units) and I have the satellite hardwired to the main unit - so, wired backhaul. Can I do wired backhaul ...
I'm always a fan of a hardwired backhaul. I've got the RBE973 kit and its running using a wired backhaul.
I've always wished it would free up the wireless portion of the backhaul but it doesn't.
It looks like I can only wire 1 of the satelittes for wired backhaul? The main unit only has 1 10GB port.
I run mine through a 2.5gig switch since 10g switches are darned expensive.
And all the ports on the 970 line are multigig. So unless you have 10g service to your home, the 2.5gig connections would be fine for the backhaul. They won't limit you
I have mine online as well. Both RBS ethernet connected. Currently testing 1G managed and non managed switches for backwards compatibility. Will migrate to multi gig switch this weekend.
