no signal on lan ports
Hello, I configured RBR50 first in router mode and later as wireless accespoint. In both configuration I got no signal on the Lan ports. Wifi is working well but the Lan ethernet ports don't work. Ha...

this is what the imac is telling me and still no internet
Thanks for providing this. It appears (to me) that we have been discussing the wrong issue. i.e. are the LAN ports working or not? That is why we keep asking about LED's and the port statistics web page (RST_statistics.htm). The iMac is saying there IS a connection to the network because it says that ethernet is "active" (actief) and has received an IP address (192.168.1.20).
The question then is, "Devices connected by WiFi have internet access, but devices connected through the LAN ports do not, and why is that?"
Is the Orbi currently in "router" or "Access Point" mode?
Would it be possible to provide a diagram of how everything is connected, including the internet modem?

In Windows that is often down to security settings on the PC. Windows blocks access because it is protecting users from stuff that it does not know about.
Are Macs equally "helpful"?
thanks, I will look for that option
