Orbi Ethernet Backhaul causing broadcast storm
I have just upgraded my Orbi router and satellites to V2.1.1.12 hoping to take advantage of the recent Ethernet backhaul feature. I use the Orbi router as my main router with a 24 port switch servic...
I intended to set this up tonight in this exact same house servicing switch configuration. Can someone address this post as to what to expect?
I spent a day this weekend trying every possible configuration, I factory reset the router and satellites several times, attempted connecting the satellites directly to the router via ethernet and in every scenario the satellites worked at first but upon any changes to the router reconfiguration that seemingly required a reboot (DHCP Reservation, Custom DNS Server, etc) the packet storm would ensue.
I've temporarily given up on the Ethernet backhaul and have started shopping for an entirely new networking solution to replace the Orbi.
