I’m connecting SXR80 with SXS80 satellite through Ethernet backhaul. But the Mesh Link Status shows Fair. How is that possible? Am I missing any settings?

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so there may be useful responses here. However, the Orbi Pro Tri-Band Business WiFi System is not much like a standard router, so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Thank you, I thought it was weird were I was posting. First I can't find my exact model SXR80 - Orbi Pro. Not even in the link you sent, so It always feels like I'm posting in the wrong spot! 😞
I assume my message will get moved to the right place?

I've never touched one of those, so I know nothing, but...
Is the satellite actually using the Ethernet backhaul, or is it ignoring your cable?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for "backhaul" and/or "Change the WAN port speed".
I gather that "an Ethernet backhaul connection" could be arranged with either 1Gb/s or 2.5Gb/s speed. Perhaps 1Gb/s (or less?) is classified as "Fair"?
> Am I missing any settings?
Perhaps. Or perhaps your cable is defective or inadequate.
Does the router's management web site offer any information on its Ethernet ports? Perhaps some kind of "Show Statistics" control on its ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home page?
But what do I know?
> Look at the screenshots please.
I can't (yet) see your pictures. In-line images must be approved by a moderator before others can see them. The time required varies. Attachments have no such limitation. Of course, attachments have their own one-per-message limitation.

Best guess is you will always see the wireless backhaul status, even if there is a mostly reliable wired backhaul. @BruceGuo please advise.
@ChristineT please ensure all newer hardware - kits as well as individual routers and satellites SKUs - are becoming available for product tagging in the community.

Yes please.
It confuses the hell put of people and gives the impression that Netgear does not support their hardware. If something appears in the "Support" search it should also appear in the community dropdown.
