Feature Request?

[WiseSilverWolf]

Is it possible to submit a feature request to Netgear for the Netgear Orbi? I would love to see Pi-hole added as a feature for Netgear Orbi: https://pi-hole.net/   without having to buy an extra Raspberry Pi and connecting it to my Netgear Orbi as a DNS server. 

For those that dont know Pi-Hole is a FREE DNS level ad blocker, it blocks ads for all the devices attached to your wifi network but you need a Raspberry Pi to install it on.

Nice idea. I think that Orbi (and specially the new Orbi AX) has a powerful processor that will be possible to manage additional apps/plugins.

Thank You! 🙂 I posted a thread about it here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/Pi-Hole-as-an-app-plugin-for-Netgear-Orbi/id...

I didnt know they had a suggestions forum.

I would love to be able to use the orbi routers as satellites in some scenarios. Specifically, I would like to use an extra router as an additional satellites with an Ethernet connection for wired backhauling.
In terms of hardware, this must be possible 🙂

Thank you

Chipset design and FW code design, limits the RBRs to work in Router or AP mode only. No satellite support.
