NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
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.
Hi,
A see alot of comments that "Orbi is not marketed as a Ethernet Backhaul product" & "do your research before buying and don't expect ethernet backhaul".
Well, from another point of view.
Even though the wireless backhaul is good and works fine our living situation could change. You maybe move to another house, rebuild the one you currently have or do some other renovation.
Now this is where the wired backhaul comes in. If I move to another house that's different to the one I currently have I maybe end up needing wired backhaul. Now that would be a total waste of money to buy another WiFi solution just for that.
So even I you don't need wired backhaul today, maybe you will need it in the future and you don't want to spend another 500USD on another WiFi solution when you already have Orbi.
