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 cannot believe they didn't add it either. If they had, I'd be using the Orbi I purchased right now. Unfortunately, it totally didn't pan out in the different locations I placed it. I got 100-150 Mbps via Speedtest.net in the remote locations via the satellites, which was better than the Asus I had but I wanted max speed at the satellite locations as well as near the main router.
I ended up going with a Linksys EA9500 router with two RE7000 AP (which support ethernet backhaul) and their seamless routing capability, and it works perfectly. Just set it up following their instructions and use the same SSID and you are golden. I have over 400 Mbps download speeds throughout my house (upstairs, downstairs, outside) via Speedtest.net.
