How far can you hardwire router to satellite? I have about a 200ft run of cat 5e. Does it need POE? Currently I have a Ubiquiti AP hardwired with POE to the Orbi router, but it has no LAN port on AP. So thinking of replaceing with an Orbi Satellite so I can connect a obi200 for Google voice.to a LAN port. Thx.
Re: Wired max distance between router and satellite
Hi ldc50,
Welcome to our community! 🙂
Unfortunately, Orbi Pro doesn't support POE and it uses a power adapter for the router and satellite. The maximum run for cat 5 cable should be 100 meters (328 feet), it will definitely work on your setup. 🙂
