Change Connection Type from 5G to Wired (RBK23)

Hi there, when I set up my router and satellites all the devices were connected to the same switch. As it turns out, - one of the satellites is now indicated to be connected with connection type 5G...

    Ok. So that configuration should work well.

    Thanks a lot for your help. The last setup discussed above indeed works:

    - both satellites are indicated as being connected "wired" to the router

    - the satellites are directly connected, not daisy chained

    The only problem is, that the new setup is more complex, I need an additional switch and loose a wall socket for another LAN cable. But that is a different problem.

     

    Thanks again!
