Wired connection between Router and Satellite

I installed my new ORBI system and I must say it is great.  That being said, does the solution support a WIRED Ethernet connection between the main router and a satellite ? That way, it does not use the backhaul channel and the satellites are connected at full speed with no interference

Re: Wired connection between Router and Satellite

No wired backhaul option available at this time - not sure if that will happen sometime in the future or not.

 

The Orbi was designed purposefully & specifically designed folks who don't have the capability or interest in stringing ethernet all over their house - if you already have extended ethernet runs available, then there are better (and likely cheaper!) solutions to consider rather than Orbi.

 

There have already been a lot of posts on this topic, so you are welcome to search for those to learn more.
