Orbi - Configuring wired ethernet - backhaul and fronthaul RBR50 and RBS50
Trying to setup my ORBI RBS50 with a wired backhaul. I have it set up like https://kb.netgear.com/000051205/What-is-Ethernet-backhaul-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System, but it still says...
I just updated both Sat and Router's firmware to 2.1.3.4 and still get the same thing.
You need to factory reset the router and satellite then set up from scratch.
Set up the router first. Then add the satellite via wireless. After this, then connect a LAN cable between the router and satellite. Give 5 minutes for the system to re-configure and come to ready on wired back haul.
Any network switches between the router and satellite?
Cat 6 LAN cable recommended.
