Set Up an Ethernet Backhaul Connection

Your Orbi satellite automatically connects wirelessly to your Orbi router or another Orbi
satellite to create a wireless backhaul, or you can use an Ethernet cable to connect your
satellite to your router or another satellite to create a wired backhaul connection.
Before you set up an Ethernet backhaul connection, make sure that you update the
firmware on all your Orbi devices.
The following image shows how to connect your Orbi satellites to your Orbi router to
