Both satellites connected via ethernet, but one shows as wired, one shows as wireless
I have an RBR50 and two RBS50s. Everything worked great for months with wired ethernet backhaul. Then one of the RBS50s died. Received a replacement via RMA. Set it up wirelessly, and after a couple ...
- From the picture you posted (attached in my post here), it seems that Daisy Chain is enabled. Please uncheck it in the web GUI. It has to be unchecked in your case
- Have you tried the procedure I described in my previous post? That is to Factory reset the Satellite and sync it only when it's wired to the Router, don't sycn the Satellite with wireless backhaul at all.

I think there is something changed in 2.3.5.30 (and probably earlier packages as well) regarding wired backhaul.
If you want to use wired backhaul then you SHOULD NOT sync the Satellite using wireless backhaul first and then connect the wires. The Satellite should be synced only once using wired backhaul
Please factory reset the satellite (using a pinclip and hold for 10 seconds), go into web GUI "Attached Devices" and click on "Disconnect" the Satellite.
Now sync the Satellite while wired to the Router.
See if this will give you better results. :)
Hmm, well, I tried it one more time and got a strange result. The web interface says it sync'd successfully, the dashboard shows it connected as Wired, BUT, the iOS app shows it daisy chained via my other satellite, wirelessly (dotted line) and magenta. And the satellite itself is pulsing white. I'm inclined to 'beleive' the iOS app since the satellite is pulsing white and not off. BTW, the satellite *never* went to solid white to prompt me to sync - it kept pulsing white. I did the sync anyway after several minutes via the web as I said, and the web said it worked, but....?
