I just installed Orbi (RBK50). It was very easy to install, but one problem. "Ethernet port on the main router" seemed not working. I connected my laptop and other items to the Ethernet...

Thank you for the comment!
When I test, I just connect one computer and removed other LAN devices from LAN ports on the Orbi router. I also used the same laptop and cable when I did the test ... I was able to connect the internet via Satellite, but not able to connect the internet through main Orbi router.
I will double check my computer setting and cable again.
Thank you!

What other devices do you have connected to the LAN ports on the router?

Currently nothing.
Ideally those devices on the main router.
- Powerview Hub which controls blind (and needs to connect via Ethernet). Currently connected via Satellite, but would like to connect on the main router.

- The Blueray player which only has the Ethernet port.
Thank you!
