Adding RBR50 to Existing Network
I wish to install the Orbi solution in a local CPA office. They have an existing network with Cisco router and Cisco switch. The primary purpose for adding the Orbi solution is to enable Wifi connect...
As long as you connect the RBS to the back of the RBR, directly or with switches in between the RBR and RBS:
Thank you, but the local utility (epb.net) installed and configured the router and Cisco 26 port gigabit switch. I can confirm that the AP configuration is working on the RBR, but the 2 RBS do not appear to be syncing with the RBR despite having all traffic routed through the Cisco switch. Are there other options I can try to get them synced so that they receive the full benefits of a mesh wifi solution. I may approach the senior partner with the suggestion of using the Orbi as the router.
Thanks in advance!
To get the RBS syncd wired with the RBR, be sure they are connected directly behind the RBR, not in parallel at the host switch. They have to be behind the RBR. You can have a switch in between the RBS and RBR.
