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.
Petey, I think you maybe assuming to much. I live on three floors and have a need to multiple device to provide coverage. I have used all sorts of devices (routers and ap's) but settled on airport devices for there simple config and above all else they don't look like some Star Trek ship designers wet dream. In other words they look inoffensive to the wife. Now apple are not throwing much support behind these devices anymore (maybe they are bringing out there own next gen devices soon) I am in need of something else. My requirements are 3+ Ethernet ports for each device, no wireless backhaul (three floors and lots of doors), single pane of glass management....oh and the wife has to like to look of them.
Let's see the Orbi fails on only 1 of those points, your suggestion fails on 2, likely 3 as I can't find many ap devices that have that many ports.
Different people have different requirements for there own situation of which you are totally unaware. There are enough people on the this forum requesting this as a feature. I am not really sure why you are arguing against them?
