Orbi Backhaul Ethernet Switch

Other devices can be on the switch. I've got quite a few on mine. 

What modem/gateway do you have? 

What firmware is on the orbi? 

what other devices are connected to the switch? 

What actual switch is it? 

How is your network wired up? 

for example see my signature. 

How do you have the RBS and switch connected to the RBR?

How long after you connect the RBS to the switch are you waiting for the RBS to sync fully?

Currently when I connect the RBS50 satelites via ethernet to a switch that has other devises, my network goes crazy. I loose Wifi on some devises and others I lose internet connection (but maintain local network conection).

I use an unmanaged Netgear switch but have other devises on the same switch. Do the staelites need their own switch? Or can other devises be on the switch too?

Thankyou,

Jamie

Is "currently" significant?  i.e. was this configuration working before?

Yes, other devices can be on the same switch as the satellite.

Is it correct to assume that the swtich comes after the Orbi, i.e.::

Internet modem port connected to WAN (yellow) port on Orbi.

Orbi LAN port connected to switch.

Satellite and other devices connected to switch.
