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.
Still boggles my mind why someone wouldn't just buy much cheaper AP's if they are gonna rely on wired backhaul. I think people just need something to complain about to be honest. Ooh that product has it and this doesn't so this one must have it too. Never mind that if you actually were going to be using wired backhaul you'd be better off with something else anyway.... I really hope you end up getting wired backhaul for your Orbi so you can go ," oooo I have wired backhaul now just like devices designed for wired back haul, but I paid 3 times as much!"
