AP Mode with Ethernet Backhaul with Firmware 2.5.1.16
I have an RBR50 in AP mode and an RBS50 using Ethernet backhaul. Previously I had read that when you use Ethernet backhaul, Orbi will show all devices connected thru the satellite as "wired" devices ...

Not exactly the same, but very similar. Thanks

Is there switch in between the RBS and RBR?
Does the RBS appear correctly on the RBRs web page?
Has a factory reset been performed and setup from scratch?

Yes there is a switch between the two. Does that make a difference?
On the webpage, the Satellite shows as a connected satellite with Good backhaul status. (Shows the Connection Type as 5G which is a bit confusing.) However, none of the 42 devices shows connected to it. They all show connected to the Main AP.
Also, on the Firmware Update page, the Satellite status shows "Waiting for Connection"
A factory reset and scratch setup has not been performed recently. If that is recommended, should I reconfigure it from the wired connection or from a wireless connection first?
Thanks!
