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.

Hirrdgoon I have 2 ASUS AC68U routers covering my 3 level, 3860sqft home + a good deal of my back yard and front yard... you can get those for about $50 each ($100 total cost) - and is easy to setup in repeater mode. ... the Orbi is MANY times the cost for that same coverage, and doesnt even have wired back haul. They are preying on uninformed. I think it will be a while before any residential mesh system will provide the features needed (single SSID, pushing clients to the SSID with the best signal, etc) for a true seamless experience like a commercial system does.
