Orbi ethernet backhaul issues.
I'm running my Orbi system using ethernet backhaul, but it is creating some issues.
I have a HDHomerun network tuner, and when using ethernet backhaul, then I get picture freezing followed by a "co...
Does the one device work if you connect it directly to the Orbi router instead of the satellite?
Whats the model# of the NG switch?
Besure your using good quality LAN cables. Swap cables to test. CAT6 recommended.
Disable Daisy Chain.
Yes you can still add another satelllite if Daisy Chain is disabled.
How big is your home? SqFt?
Distance between router and satellite? Should be 30 feet starting.
The Netgear switch is GS305.
The HDHomerun is located where the router is because the cable from the antenna on the house roof is in that room, along with the internet feed.
I'm using brand new CAT6 cables :-)
I don't know the answer to the last two questions!
I've disabled daisy chaining and it seems more stable. Why does that affect things? I will have to keep an eye on it!
Don't know for sure. IF it's working better then keep it disabled. It's only needed if you want to piggy back satellites in a chain of each other two or three in row.
Distance and how size is important if you can find this at some point. Small size you may only need 1 satellite or if even that. I have a 5000sq ft home and only use 1 satellite at the opposite end of the house. 40 feet in between router and satellite.
Enjoy.
