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.

Well, i hope they come out sooner and hope they do not need a complete change in hardware. My users felt that having two different routers (1 main and another AP with 2 different SSID) is faster than using the orbi with single SSID. Sometimes when my iphone is away from the orbi showing only 2 bars, the loading of web page can be quite slow. I hope they can implement it soonest as i feel that it is really not a good product after knowing others are able to implement ethernet backhaul as well. I wonder why some websites are giving it a good review about wireless used as backhaul? OMG!
