Other mesh networks such as Eero and soon Luma support hard wiring your sattelites. I think its extremely important Netgear Orbi does the same. Especially for those of us who can.
peteytesting - I went from cheap WAPs to the Orbi because I hated dealing with 6 separate SSIDs. That is the point of the Orbi and other mesh products. When you want to place a satellite further away (different floors or through many walls) from the router then you are degrading your bandwidth. This is where Ethernet backhaul support is a great feature. I almost bought the Eero or Luma due to this feature. I decided to try Orbi first and it is working pretty decent for my house. I do need another satellite and I might need the Ethernet backhaul support for total coverage using 1 SSID. I am still happy with my Orbi setup without this feature but this is just an added bonus.
