Can the Orbit router or Satellite connect to an existing 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi access point?

Can the Orbit router or Satellite connect to an existing 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi access point?

I have a wireless mobile hotspot with 2.4 and 5ghz bands that I would like to route the connections to the Orbi. Is the Orbi router limited to a wired internet input connection? If so, can the satellite be used standalone as a wifi and Ethernet hub?

hi

 

not actually sure what you are asking here , the orbi sats will only connect to the orbi router via its dedicated 5 gig back haul at this time , there is plans to allow back haul via ethernet esentially turning the orbi sat into a wireless access point
