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.
Well, I tried it again, this time with the Daisy Chain box unselected (I've seen some speculation that this toggle is backward), and things returned to my first problematic state i.e. in hub/spoke, one sat wired, the other sat wireless, both sats showing Good for backhaul status. And iOS seems to match the web interface.
Going in circles here :(

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. :)

It's weird - I thought I had Unchecked DC to try that, but when I went to the screen for that it was checked, as if somewhere along the way it'd turned itself back on. Well, I've now unchecked it which reboots the router, and confirmed that the DC box is unchecked. Then tried again with the sat as you descirbed. Reset, removed, and set up the satellite while wired, and LO AND BEHOLD, it WORKED!!
Thanks so much - deeply appreciated. I thought I had tried this but somehow the DC box was set opposite from how I thought it'd been set.
Anyway - you're right - set up WHILE WIRED, DC UNchecked. Thanks again!
