My Ethernet Backhaul Setup
Sorry in advance for the long post.
I have been following this forum as an observer for quite a while now, and have noticed that many people are having issues with their Orbi setup, either when...
The wireless back haul works for most configurations. The one issue that seems to cause problems are these managed switches and or IGMP protocls on them. As long and users use non managed switches, preferred or disable this IGMP protocol on thre managed switches, should be good. Also the use of good quality cabling is recommended. CAT6.
I have 3 non managed switches in between my 1 satellite thats wired back haul. Working with out problems. I did find that setting the satellite(s) on a reserved IP address is recommended. Including all other devices that need router management.
Also find that setting a smaller DHCP IP address pool works as well. I use .100 thru .200. Leaves me room on either side for static IP address assigned devices like printers, cameras, NAS and controllers. Items that don't need much router management.
