Ethernet backhaul on only 1 satellite
Hi all - I have an Orbi 3 pack (1 router and 2 satellites). Am I able to use Ethernet backhaul on just 1 satellite and leave the other wireless? Is anyone doing this?
It’s set up in AP mode, tried disabling beam forming, MUMMI and daisy chain modes also, I then reset Orbi and connected in router mode with no cables and enabeled daisy chain etc and there is very little difference in speeds, wire is indicating 960 mbps from switch. router is fritz box 7560, everything seems to be connecting at the 2.4 ghz band for some reason, house is two story small house so Satelites & Router should be fine, switch is Netgear 24 port switch unmanaged (NETGEAR GS324 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch), hope this helps my head is wrecked with this

074 ,This is an important point! Which devices connect to 2.4 GHz? Dothese devices have 5 GHz capability? If you poer cycle these devices will they connect to 2.4 GHz again?
Can you please make a wifi radio scan and see which 2.4 and 5 GHz channels are being used by your surrounding.
