They allow both a wired and wireless backhaul to be used.
I am afraid they don't:
Internet port (the Orbi satellite does not include an Internet port)
The satellite doesn't have a wan port but most of the satellites all have lan ports. RBW30 and RBS50Y don't have lan ports. I've used the others with wired backhaul.
Hi plemans,
Thank you for your advice. As far as I see Orbi satelite ethernet ports work for output only:
If I use AC3000 as access point will seperate ssid be activated?
Thank you.
photos have to be approved by a moderator. Not sure what you mean by orbi ports are only good for output. they don't differentiate between input/output as both are needed for communications.
Are you wanting seperate ssid's?

I definitely need the same ssid in all places. Does the Mesh the only way to get the same ssid? What is the difference between router + 2 wired access points (repeater mode) and router + 2 mesh satellite?
Thank you.

Got it, thank you.
