Ethernet Backhaul
I originally set up the system with wireless backhaul. Just now reconfigured as wired. Router status still shows satellites connected as 5G. Do I need to reset the satellites or perform some other...
I actually have the same issue. Did you manage to fix it in the end? I am running firmware 2.1.2.18 (the latest) and I have connected a Cat 6e cable between the router and satellite. Daisy Chaining option is on and everything looks good.
The problem is, the connection mode of the satellite is still 5G. The status was showing Config Sync for a few hours and now shows Good.
I tried resetting the satellite and have power cycled both devices a few times but can't get the Satellite connection mode changed to Wired.
Is there anything specific I have to do which I am not doing?
Tried the same thing. The latest firmware is super flaky when it comes to wired backhaul. Mine was saying wireless when it was wired and then it brought the whole network down.
The issue with the GUI is, that is sometimes even shows nonsense. I had been running my satellite via wired backhaul, before I upgraded to 2.1.2.18 and afterwards, the satellite vanished from the status page, but remained working nonetheless.
I finally reset the satellite to factory defaults and performed a wireless sync. Afterwards, it was just simply plugging in the ethernet cable.
