Connecting two satellites by ethernet?
I'm setting up a new Orbi pro system. We have two offices separated by about 15m, and want to have one network across them. I have the router (SRR60) connected in one office, and want the two satellites (one SRS60, one SRC60) and in the other office. The backhaul between the offices will be wifi, but is there any advantage is connecting the two satellites with an ethernet cable? If I do this, is there any configuration that's required, or will one satellite pick up the configuration from the other? (I'm figuring I'll sync the SRS60 to the SRR60, then plug the SRC60 into the SRS60 without syncing the SRC60)

I would try both options.
reason why is that version does support daisy chaining.
but if the connection between the 2 satellites is sketchy, the hardwired connection might be a better option.
Sadly, you don't really know until you test it.
And it should auto-negotiate if its hardwired in to use that connection.
It is doable and recommended. Wired connection can avoid wireless interference and be more stable. No configuration is needed. Just wire the satellite which would automatically decide to be a wireless or wired satellite.
