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.
It's look like people want Orbi mesh like device but with a wired ap of a router mixed in to the mixture of the wireless backhaul and the dual bands the Orbi already have so a new product with the power of a r8500 or r9000 router with the wireless usability of a Orbi all in one device.
Not sure how the mix would turn out I think each part would lose and gain functionality and features along the way.
