Orbi - wired clients on satellite reported as wired on router
I finally took the time to run ethernet cable through the house, and I connected my two RBS50 satellites to my RBR50 via cat6 cable. Everything has synced up fine, but I notice that on the management web page, any client connected via ethernet to the satellites now show up as wired connections to the router. While that's (sort of) technically true, it isn't helpful in mapping out the network topology.
That's going to get confusing later on as my network expands.

Maybe, however when it's all connected and the tunnel is wired, then the router sees and reports those devices as being wired, not wireless.
