Orbi AP Mode Problem
I cannot get this system to work with a wired back haul in AP mode. If I just use the Orbi Satellites all wireless with just the router connected to my ASUS it works perfect. As soon as I chain connec...
What is the model of the ASUS router?
What is the FW loaded on the Orbi system?
How are the RBS connected to the RBR? Directly in back of the RBR or is there a LAN network switch in between the RBR and RBS?
The firmware is the latest 2.7 Orbi firmware. However this has happened on every firmware release. As for switches. I have two connected behind my Orbi to the satellites. They are Netgear GS108s unmanaged which are supposed to be compatible. I did this to add more Ethernet ports for more hardwired devices. The thing is I tried all the basic troubleshooting. I removed the switches, I tried DHCP reservation, I factory reset everything, I tried changing the Ethernet cables. I have these all chain connected when I use the wired backhaul. I don’t have an Ethernet wire running from the RBR50 to a switch than the RBS50s. I instead am connecting it strait to each satellite from the RBR50. Going down from the router. As for the ASUS it’s an RT-AC5300 with the latest firmware. However, even when I use a different router as the main it still functions this way.
