OK thank you. Does it mean you can have this kind of drop off even wired ?
Just to be clear. Connecting a satellite with ethernet changes the backhaul connection to the gigabit ethernet path, which will result in the fastest connection possible. Ethernet is inherently "full duplex" and does not lose capacity to WiFi overhead.
It is true that the Orbi does not turn off the WiFi radio (which a number of people have desperately wanted it to do). That allows the Orbi to switch back to WiFi backhaul if the ethernet connection disappears. It does not matter which of the WiFi backhaul connections is active (fast 5G or horribly slow 2.4G) because the ethernet backhaul is the one that will be used.
People living in appartments have a lot less flexibility in running ethernet cables here and there. If you are able to connect the router and satellite over ethernet, that is the best thing you can do.
