    Same, not showing any connected devices, nor do I see any options for ethernet backhaul, are we supposed to just connect it and it will detect it?

      I manually installed the latest firmware yesterday night, I have been noticing that my wifi speedtest throughput is dropped.

       

      Specifically, my broadband provider has 20mb download speed. (Yes, very slow, but I swear not going to Comcast) If I did speedtest from Orbi admin menu directly, I can get close to the max 20mb download speed. However if I do it from my laptop or my phone, I only get 12mb. Even if I stand right next to my Orbi router it is the same. 

      Does anyone see similar throughput dropping issue?

      Yes. Once you connect two Orbi using Ethernet, it will auto detect and switch over.  May take a few mins.
