I have the AX6000 with a wired backhaul to my satellite. This way my satellite can be as far away from the router as I want. However, a major caveat is that the Ethernet ports are only 1 Gbps while the wireless backhaul for the RBK852 (if within range) is 2.4 Gbps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Orbi AX6000 supports wired or wireless backhaul. Wired backhaul works great which is what I use. The only bad part about a wired backhaul with Orbi is the second 5ghz band still can't be used for client devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. The Orbi units communicate to each other only wirelessly. The satellite unit does not have any input ports.
