RAX120 + EAX80 wired backhaul in mesh,

[Hadreth]

Hi, I have the RAX120 router + EAX80 extender. I want to put in Mesh-mode while it uses wired backhaul. It seems like this is not possible with stock software. Its either wired in AP-mode or wireless in Mesh-mode Why is this? Orbi does it..

Is it possible if I flash the systems?

Does a different model/brand have this option?

The orbi has custom firmware for it to support a wired backhaul with satellites. 

The EAX80 isn't configured for that. 

Its a mesh extender. meaning it functions as mesh when ran as an extender. 

When its used hardwired, it runs in access point mode as its own access point. Not as a satellite. 

The only consumer netgear products that support wired backhaul with mesh is the orbi line and the MK-nighthawk line.
