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.

Check if firmware on Orbi units are latest and confirm if App is of latest version. I have tried thrice where I can access it using App though it is set to AP mode.
jvasanth1984 app still doesn’t work. Spends about 2 seconds trying to detect the goes to screen asking if I am connected to wifi
Does the RBR 50 & RBS 50 support ethernet backhaul?
- I noticed there was an update to the app 3 days ago. will try again.
ThoOom Yes. SRK60 and SRS60 will support ethernet back haul in lastest firmware as per the link https://kb.netgear.com/000053831/SRR60-SRS60-Firmware-Version-2-1-2-18.
@MoreUsernames: I was able to access Orbi using app when it is in AP mode.
Hello,
is ethernet backhaul possible on pro series ? (SRK60 + 2 x SRS60) ?
- robmoz: Yes, this feature is added in new firmware. MoreUsernames: I'll check app and keep you posted when Orbi is in AP mode.
So i set this up as per the link. Internet seems to work ok but the Orbi app on my iPad and iPhone can no longer connect. Internet access works ok from the devices, just Orbi app connectivity rebooted both ipad and iphone, still no good. checked for any app updates and it says it is up to date....
Edit to add: My orbi setup is in AP mode
- jvasanth1984 – Did you mean to say "this feature has now been added?"
