Netgear Orbi - Wired Sattelite

One end of my house does not have Ethernet. The other end does. I bought Orbi as a Mesh solution so I don't have to switch WiFi networks when I move to different rooms. I would love to be able to plug in the Satellite that sits right next to an ethernet outlet.

Great idea!

Maybe message a superuser? What do you think?

Life gets in the way of technology updates sometimes.... 

I don't know how that gets done. Anyone know? Is this done by moderators? Or should I be able to do this?

I apprecaite everyone's input and contributions to this thread.

Thank you.

Why isn’t this idea marked Implemented?

I have confirmed it works. See the below image, you will see that under Connection Type under the listing for your satellites when it is wired.

Thanks MightyThor!  I could not find anything in  the official NetGear lit that said they support this - thought it odd that they would not though.

This has been addressed, a few pages back someone posted this link:

I myself have not tried this yet. I will soon.

I would love, love to have the Satellites connect back to the router via hard wiring.  I have a new, tall, long skinny house, with minimal structured wiring.  My cable modem is down in a small basement.  The Satellites are in  the  upper floors.   I want to have my Sat's connect back to the router via the wiring I do have, so I can place  them at each of the two end of the house.   This would allow me to leverage the benefits of Orbi wifi, namely seamless wifi coverage for all my mobile devices no matter where in the house we roam.   I placed them in the idea locations for wifi coverge, but then the connections back to the router were flakey.  I moved the Sattelites closer to the center of the house to get the router connection to be more stable, but now I have less wifi coverage for my devices 

I agree that Orbi system needs to support hard-wired ethernet backhaul.  I have had so much trouble with my satellite that I have actually just turned it off.  I see posts in which Netgear employees acknowledged the need for this feature.  How long should it take?
