Hello internet,
I just bought a RBK23 off amazon earlier which is due for delievery tommrow. I wanted to know if I can connect them for a wired backhaul through a network switch even though I know Orbi is supposed to be used wireless using the 3rd band. But wired makes everything better for me so what I want to do is connect the router to Satellite 1 (S1), then connect a switch to S1 and then from that switch I want to link to Satellite 2 (S2). I had a tenda nova mw6 and that would not allow me to connect like that without various connectivity issues.
I wish I could connect the S2 to S1 wired but the system I bought only has 2 lan ports so that means S1 will have one port connecting to router and the other one to the switch so I can't connect them to each other. I could connect them if I decide to put the switch to S2 but that would mean installing new cable wires as they are on different floors and I don't want to go through all that work.
If nothing works, then I guess I will have to connect S1 wired to router, then to switch and connect the S2 wirelessly as this was how I used the Tenda nova mw6 with one node wired and one wireless.
