Wired Backhaul
My refund period for my Orbi is about to expire. Can a moderator comment (hopefully a NetGear Employee) as to when/if we will get wired backhaul? If it is in the next six months, I will keep my Orb...
Nick,
Here's something I posted this morning on another thread for the same topic:
I've added Ethernet Backhaul into my list of Candidate Features for a future Firmware update. I can't yet commit to a delivery date, but wanted to acknowledge that this is a valid use case and something we're looking seriously at.
Orbi Product Management
Those are decent numbers, much better than eero and I suspect the Orbi wireless backhaul is faster than the eero wired backhaul. That being said, I can probably live with the wireless backhaul feature for now. I was waiting as long as possible befor returning it (04/21), but these stats are very positive.
We are capped at 300 Mbps here - no gigibit fiber in our area - yet.
Thanks!
The Orbi is a much more powerful machine than eero, ORBI is using a Qualcomm IPQ4019 which is a 720Mhz Quad core CPU!! Paired with 512Mb of RAM and 4Gb of flash and a wired backhaul can't be added via Firmware still amazes me but eero with lower specs can offer it.
