ORBI 970 with wired backhaul in AP mode
My home is wired for Ethernet, and I'm currently using the Linksys Velop mesh wifi system, that I'm looking to replace with the Orbi 970. I have an existing router/firewall that connects to my cable...
Ok, I am able to get this working if I directly wire an AP to the main Orbi router, but it won't work if they are connected through my home network, which is what I want to do. It appears that the Orbi devices won't play well together when connected over the same network that my other devices are on. Why is this? I have no such problem with the Linksys mesh network devices that I am trying to replace with the Orbi.
Will this work if I isolate the satellites from the rest of the network with Vlan tagging?
