Lost all LAN connections RBK50 - both router and satellites
Last night, with zero configuration changes, all LAN ports stopped functioning on both the router and satellites. I had a switch plugged in to the router so I tried bypassing it with some direct con...
Does the router still maintain internet connectivity via wireless?
I did not see if you tried to factory reset the RBR50 yet... if not, that would be my next step.

I do get internet connectivity via wireless. And I have done the factory reset. No change. After trying a direct connection to the router, I tried re-activating one of the satellites and I can't connect to those LAN ports either still.
And there is nothing between the RBR50 and the RBS50 on the ethernet cable? (e.g. no switches in between, right?)

I use a switch for most devices normally but I always direct connect the router and first satellite. I've tested 3 devices connected directly to the router and 2 devices connected to the satellite. The ones that have wifi I tested both connection methods and the wifi connection works and ethernet fails.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration?
This switch has been removed from the Orbi connection?
Possible you may need to replace the Orbi system.
