NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
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.
I was just about to purchase a set of Orbi and I assumed the ethernet backhaul would be a standard feature. Thought I best check as it was not mentioned anywhere and I stumled across the community. I think I will have to look at something else.
I would prefer to have the backhaul over my ethernet as I want the two points at opposite ends of the house and I don't want APs as they do not appear to be as easy to setup and the roaming between them may be an issue.
I honestly could not believe it for a second when I found out that it did not not support this function.
