Ethernet backhaul after point to point long distance wireless bridge
I currently have a barn that is too far of a distance for a wireless backhaul for RBR50 and RBS50. Instead of running a very long cable to the barn, I got an avalon point to point long distance wirel...
So here is the long story. I went home and somehow the barn satellite had connected with wireless backhaul to the router even with the distance of barn to house. When I looked at connected devices on the barn satellite, it showed both point to point hardware IPs and MAC addresses connected wired to it. Since they were recognized I just did a reboot of everything and the next time it came on it worked as a wired backhauled satellite no problem. I have no clue what the issue was but the ole unplug it and plug it back in seemed to change things. Thanks for all suggestions.

Sounds like it needed just a reboot of everything to get it working. Glad it worked.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡So I had rebooted the entire system multiple times, I think it had something to do with the wireless backhaul somehow connecting first then the reboot worked. Anyway, marked as solved and thanks to everyone.
Ya it's always best to wirelessly sync the RBS first to the RBR, then connect them via ethernet.
