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.
I would definitely vote for a wired backhaul. The wireless is basically quite weak when the house is made of layers of thick bricks in between. My home cant even get past the second floor for the satellite to connect properly and the speed to download youtube video is weak. Gave up on using it and returned back to my old solution of two different routers wired via CAT 5E.
Its a wasteful resource whereby the backhaul can be used for devices communication rather than dedicated for own communication.
