Netgear Orbi - Wired Sattelite

There are still issues with how this works in real life.  I have one Orbi RBK53 system implemented with two wired satellites and it appears to be working fine.  I attempted to set up a new RBK53 system to take with me to another site and found the satellites would not reliably connect via the wire.  In this case, I used the RBR50 as the router and DHCP server.  I had the RBR and RBSs all connected to a dedicated Netgear switch.  Some satellites would choose the wired connection, some would choose wireless and sometimes they would daisy chain.  (Which I disabled after I noticed it).  I kept looking for a setting to specifically tell the RBR to talk to the satellites via wires, but I could not locate a setting for that.  Also the process took an incredibly long amount of time for the satellites and base to dedide how they wanted to talk.  Wouldn't the wired connection nearly ALWAYs be the best connection and the one to use?  I could see why it might be neat to have wireless as a backup connection if it was available...just in case a switch died or someone unplugged the wrong network cable.  But at least let me tell the RBR to give priority to the wires.  The next day, I tried a Ubiquity Dream Machine with a single AP and it was much faster.  Since a wired backhaul is really not the forte of a mesh system, sometimes it likely makes more sense just to use a router and managed APs when you have wires in the wall that you can use.  I ordered a larger UDM configuration to test out later this week.  The UDM lacks OpenVPN, but I'll see how it goes.
