Another problem with a satellite on wired
Hi, again some troubles. I have resetted all the devices to factory defaults, router en satellites. The RBR-50 is up and running in Access Point mode and 2 out of 3 are connected, at least, according...
Possible that you may have a faulty RBS that needs replacing.
Thanks, I followed your guidelines, it is not working. Next to that, I am unable to get the satellite working again at all. A restore also doesn't help. I am getting frustrated about this equipment. It is not the cheapest stuff, but it is not an easy setup. I have resetted it a number of times, it doesn't help.
Maybe I should buy a another brand........
Hello WS-010,
Thank you for your post!
I understand that you would prefer to use the Wi-Fi backhaul instead of the wireless backhaul.
Please try the following steps:
- First, sync the RBS to your RBR wirelessly.
- Then, plug in the ethernet cable.
Please let me know the progress of this issue as soon as possible!
Best,
Kevin

Hi,
Thanks for your help. I have tried this numerous times, it remains on 5G and not wired.
So taking the RBS to same room as the RBR and using a LAN patch cable connected in the back of the RBR to the RBS doesn't change the status to wired after a few minutes? Using a good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.
Yes, tested that, with a good cable. One RBS is working, the other not. Thanks for your reply.
