Orbi ethernet not working
Firmware V4.4.0.10_2.10.63
Successfully set up with (PPoE) VLan and wifi performance is as good as native internet connection.
But i cannot get hardwire ethernet connection to work at all. (appeared to work for a very short time at initial startup)
In some cases (on PC) just plugging in the ethernet cable will stop all connections, including wifi.
Would connections via 5 - port switch be an issue to the PC?
On the surface is looks like those devices with both ethernet and wifi connections will not work. (PC, Laptop, satellite box)
The same connection path (via switch) to a NAS is OK.

You mention FW version being: "Firmware V4.4.0.10_2.10.63"
This is a not a valid NG stock FW version for Orbi 50 series. Is your Orbi retail or is it maybe from an ISP?
