Ethernet Backhaul kills LAN traffic *partly*
Hi,
my issue is not really the same than the one in the "Ethernet Backhaul kills LAN" topic, so I decided to open a separate topic for it.
My RBR40 router + RBS40 satellite were working w...
The process to set up wired back haul is to have the satellites already connected via wireless. Disconnect all other wired LAN devices from the router bofore setting up wired back haul. Both router and satellite should be on, the connect the LAN cable between the satellite and router, no powering OFF of anything. Wait 5 minutes and the top led on the satellite should turn on PINK then BLUE which indicates a sucessful connection.
Be sure your using good quality lan cable, CAT6 recommended.
Ensure any switches used are NON-Managed. Orbi seems to have issues with Managed switches. You can place switches in between the router and satellite. I wouldn't place a switch after the satellite.

Yes, I am aware of that. From fully reading my post you would have recognized that this is exactly how I did it, and you would also have recognized that establishing the Ethernet Backhaul is NOT my problem. :)
The rest of your answer also indicates that you haven't read and/or understood my posting. You are describing how to properly establish Ethernet Backhaul connection, but again, this is not the issue I have. Ethernet Backhaul between RBR40 and RBS40 works like a charm.
Thanks for trying anyway. :)
