I'm considering buying the kit of 6 SRK60 Orbi Pro to create a unique WiFi mesh over two floors.
I can make use of Ethernet cable to connect the 6 units among them. In fact, not all the rooms are reachable via WiFi from the Orbi Pro router.
Question: can I use the Ethernet port to connect the satellite in a mixture of star and daisy-chain design?
I'm able to connect only two satellites directly to the router via cable. The other three satellites will be connected via cable, one after the other.
Here below the connection design. All connection among units are via Ethernet cable.
Orbi Sat4
Orbi Sat1===Orbi Router===Orbi Sat2===Orbi Sat3===<
Orbi Sat5
The Sat 3 is connected to thre other ones (Sat2, Sat4 and Sat5).
A couple of Sat will then have other IP items connected like IP cameras.
Would this be possible?

@Marco-F,
As long as it will not over 8 satellites. It should work fine 🙂

Yes! That's possible either you connect it via cable or wireless. As long as it will not over to 8 satellites and everything will be good.
Thanks for confirming.
I would just add that the Ethernet backhaul can be designed also as a mixture of star and daisy-chain, right?
