[Bug] Wired backhaul + Router reboot = KO
I use a wired backhaul connection
The router gets rebooted (e.g. auto firmware update, settings change, blackout, manual reboot)
Backhaul connection goes KO, the system don't recover the wired ...
How, do you know, that the wired backhaul goes bad? On my RBK40, it sometimes takes minutes until the state of my wired backhaul is displayed properly again, although I can confirm that the satellite is connected via ethernet and ping times indicate, that is also connecting via it's wired backhaul.
In the meantime, the RBR's UI shows all sorts of scary states until is finally settles on "Good" again.

Because after some hours the wired backhaul still doesn't work. I have to manually disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable.

Don't want to be pedantic, but how did you verify that? Did you some ping tests to verify, that the sat is not connected via the wired backhaul? As I said, the indicator on the Orbi web site is not very reliable. Have you checked the ping performance or the arp table on the Orbi router when pinging the satellite?

Because the wireless backhaul connection is out-of-range and the connection doesn't work at all. If I disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable, the connection (with the wired backhaul) starts working again.
It would depend on how exactly the satellites are configuring themselves at boot time. Afaik, the satellites always try wireless first, even if a LAN connection is present. That said, you could try to poweroff your satellite and unplug the LAN cable, then power it on. Wait for a couple of minutes and plug the LAN cable back in. By that time the whole initialization process should be over. Maybe this gets you somewhere.
