Connect Satellite via Ethernet
I'm considering buying a 2 unit Orbi (router + 1 satellite). I have an existing home ethernet network, so I would connect the satellite to the router via 1 GB ethernet, giving a faster more reliable ...
I concur with mrudm. I just purchased the Orbi Router / Satellite two pack assuming that i could connect the satellite via hardwire which is quite a distance away. The satellite is supposed to give me better wireless speed upstairs where i already am prewired to my router location. Through the wireless connection from router to satellite, and then hard wired to my bluray player, playback is slow and choppy.
I have spent the last 4 hours trying every configuration (including trying to get my Airport Extreme as an access point) to no avail.
Looks like Orbi is headed back to BestBuy first thing in the morning.
Great concept and reviews but doesn't work the way i need it to.
