    So what I'm looking for is a system where each node of the wireless system plugs into the wired network and gives you a seamless and fast wireless network. Is this possible with the Orbi system or any other mesh system?


    All models of Orbi which include ethernet ports can be connected over ethernet.  (This leave out the least expensive, newest model RBR10 series, becauses the satellites have no ethernet port.

    But, yes.  This is exactly how people lucky enough to have ethernet wiring typically run their Orbi systems.
