All good, except for the magenta light
I finally got my router (as a wireless AP) and satellite the way I want, with an ethernet backhaul. The trick seems to have been to take the cable out of the internet port on the router and put it in...
No, AP mode does also require that you connect the internet source (a port from your router) to the WAN (internet) port in Orbi, otherwise the router will continue to have the magenta ring on.
The LAN ports can be used for wired devices as well as for wired backhaul.
Fair enough, thank you.
I will keep that in mind if I start to run into weirdness going forward, but for now it is working great.
