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.

Netgear Orbi NEEDS to support Ethernet Backhaul. Since Apple has dropped Time Capsule and Airport Extreme development i am switching clients to Google Wifi, but this is ONLY because the Netgear Orbi does NOT support Ethernet backhaul connections like Google WiFi does. There is NO WAY i could recommend the Netgear Orbi EVER until they have a new model or Firmware update that 100% supports ETHERNET BACKHAUL CONNECTIONS.
