Orbi as AP not seeing wired backhaul sattelites
I have an Orbi and 4 satellites. It was unreliable and "quirky" for a while and I decided to try offloading the routing/switching to a dedicated router and switch, using the Orbi as an access point ...
The Orbi is in AP mode
The Router is a Ubiquity Edgerouter pro
There are a couple of switches. Netgear, and Cisco. All are Gb switches.
What is the model# of these switches?
Any of them managed switches?

The Netgear switches are all unmanaged. The Cisco is managed. It is a SG200-18
Ok, can you try this? Remove the Cisco managed switch from the mix and see if anything different happens?
Managed switches seems to cause problems with Orbi systems. One user found that disabling IGMP proctocols ON the managed switch seems to help with managed switches and Orbi systems. Something you could look into...
I'll try taking the managed switch out of the mix but that will take a bit of time to manage. In the mean time I checked the switch and it doesn't appear that IGMP is enabled anyway.
