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 have eero, luma, velop, google mesh, and orbi. Would love to know what you guys are talking about re: half baked and beta? Eero has been out for a year and is pretty stable with lots of great features including wired backhaul. Google is not far behind. If anything the old guard networking companies like Linksys with Velop and Netgear with Orbi are the ones that are what I would call, "a little rough around the edges"
Both Velop and Orbi seem to have the most powerful hardware out there but are hampered by poor firmware/software implementations.
