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

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. :)
