Orbi and Ethernet Switch / Backhaul Setup
After reading this topic https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-and-Ethernet-Switch-Backhaul-Setup/td-p/1688979 I have some questions about my setup: Router -> Netgear switch GS108PEv3 -> Or...
These are the connecion senarious that you can connect RBS to the RBR:
Direct or with using a switch in the middle between the RBR and RBS.
NO idea why NG hasn't made the Orbi more compatbile with green ethernet features. Must be some reason. No idea if or when they will change that. So we just know, that some switches don't work well for Orbi systems. Some have posted that some green ethernet switches seem to work. Kind of a mixed bag.

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
I cannot connect RBS to RBR to lan port, for that I need to have one extra cable and that is not possible.
Maybe I should ask now a different question: What will work/be better if I connnect RBS to RBR lan port? At he moment everything works, exepts magenta light on RBS and less stable wifi ion RBS.
