Ethernet backhaul RBR40 and RBS20
I have had my AC2200 with two satellites for 4-5 months now. My router RBR40 using firmware V2.5.1.22 is set up in router mode connected directly to the Arris modem, one satellite RBS20 with firmware...
Try this for testing.
Use a shorter 6-10ft ethernet cable directly connected from router---satelilte.
see if it works. If it sync's/configures properly, then its a cable issue (usually the ends).
If it doesn't, then it could be a device issue.
are you going through a network switch? Or is it wired directly to router.
I think cable was the issue. The 150 feet cable from router to satellite was brand new and probably always worked well, but the ethernet cable from modem to router as well as cable from router to Apple TV were old and somehow messed this up. Not sure which old cable was the problem, but they got exchanged and one month later this all works well now. The ethernet backhaul is stable now.
Glad to hear it!
