Fast Router Slow Satellite(s) - Ethernet Backhaul
Posting this in case it helps anyone who runs into the same problem. I run one RBR40 with two connected RBR20 satellites daisy-chained via ethernet cables. My router is on my second floor and I c...
Do you have picutures that you can share of this for each RBS?
Do you have Diasy Chaing enabled or disabled on the RBR?
I do have daisy-chain turned on. But, with this wired connection it doesn't make any difference if I turn it on or off. And the two satellites, when physically wired, are both shown as connected directly to the router in the mobile app's network diagram with a solid line. The diagram doesn't change whether daisy chain is on or off.
If I daisy chain the basement satellite via wireless, I get a dotted line from the first floor router to the basement satellite and a solid line from the first floor satellite back to the router. But my basement backhaul never gets full speed that way. I only get the daisy chained diagram for wireless if daisy chain is turned on. So it's my belief that the daisy chain setting only applies to wireless.

- RBS20 Satellite - First Floor - light gray cable goes back to the router. The dark gray cable is first floor satellite to basement satelliteRBS20 - First Floor
- RBS20 Satellite - Basement - please note in the basement router photo the lighting makes the dark gray cable look like the light gray cable. But it really is the dark gray cable that's plugged into itRBS20 - Basement
