Hey all.
Quick question.
I just installed my Orbi, and it's great. One question. My main desktop is right next to the modem, so would it be better to have that PC/desktop hardwired(Ethernet) to the modem, or should I still connect it to the Orbi, which is also right next to the modem?
 
Solution
A modem allows for only one device to be connected directly to it, and in your case this seems to be your Orbi (a router / gateway). Providing that it has LAN (Ethernet) ports, you can connect your desktop directly to it, for best performance / latency.
