Unfortunately, the satellite ethernet ports work for the backhaul but not a client.
Device scanning speed is much faster and naming is working.
- "Unfortunately, the satellite ethernet ports work for the backhaul but not a client."
Not sure what this statement means. The RBS50s are basically a wireless switch, unmanaged switch. Wirelessly connecting to clients and backhauling to the RBR50 wirelessly or via ethernet.My RBS20 has two ethernet ports, one being used for the backhaul and the second I hoped to wire to an Ethernet device.
A few older posts indicate that this is a firmware issue, not a configuration or hardware issue.
So you can't wire connect a PC to either port of the RBS?
You can add a LAN switch to the back of the RBS for additonal ports. Something like NGs GS105 or 108 should work.

Looks like the SOAP information if slightly broken in 16. I first noticed it last night when I download the latest iOS app. I thought the app was the problem but I can access the SOAP information directly now and the problem is the SOAP information the app is getting. The app is reporting the number of satellites incorrectly and all the associated satellite info. Last night the app said I had 2 satellites - i have 3. Today the app thinks I have one satellite. Interestly, the connected devices are correct and I have confirmed devices are connected to the satellites and working. The WebUI reports the satellites correctly.
In addition to correcting the bug in 16, it might be time to get the design right and have only one definitive source of information. The idea that the WebUI reports different information from the SOAP interface is a design error rather than a bug. One source for definitive data.
