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.
Not saying it doesnt support it. I am saying that the RBR50 and RBS50 are flaky and hard to manage when setup in backhaul mode. I have both the base and satellite connected to the same switch (unmanged switch made by Netgear) and the base station still shows a magenta light thinking its offline
Internet works, and i can only use the orbi app if my iphone is connected to the base stations wifi, not the satellite
Orbi isn't a product i'd recommend.
