Is there any benefit to have a wired backhaul for an Orbi Mesh system?
Hello everyone, Apologize for the lengthy post in advance, but wanted to give some background first. Product: 1 wireless RBR750 router, 2 satellites RBS750 Home Size: 2 story, 4100 sq ft Cu...
Appreciate the clarification to my initial thought. While I want to run physical ethernet cables to each room, I think I'm going to try the MoCA route and at least get the 2 satellites wired to the router via my coax cables that are already existing and not being used to see if that improves anything.
My hope is that with a wired backhaul, the wifi from each satellite can provide better speeds to devices connected to them. And thanks to FURRYe38, it's good to know that the wifi clients themselves are the limiting factor and may not even be able to realize the full speeds.
Wired anything will be always better than wifi. Lots of different factors go into Wifi considerations.
