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...
No, RBS and RBR in AP mode with ethernet BH only work as in the information linked.
Thank you, but can you please explain why this is? This should work, and it's frustrating if it doesn't. With other wifi systems I've used in the past, it hasn't been a problem to connect the access points on my network. It's not reasonable for me to have to run seperate cabling through the house in order to use the Orbi system. Nor is it reasonable that I use the wireless backhaul, that would require me to get twice as many Orbis for them to all see each other.
Also please explain why vlan tagging won't work. It seems like that, at least, would be a way to address this limitation.
Thanks again.
