Hello Everyone,

I have the Orbi RBK23 pack (1x router 2x satellite) the router is connected to an unmanaged switch (TP-Link) and both satellites are connected

to the router by wire which are connected to the switch.

 

I have manually installed this firmware and my problems with disconnecting wifi signals are still their...

But it seems to be better then before the update...

 

I am also having problems that Facebook will not load pictures/ videos when turning the wifi of and connect to 4G it works fine.

Turning wifi back on and it will not load again thats only through wifi with my cabled computer no issues...

 

Can anyone think what could cause that?

 

And I am not sure, but is the conclusion that the satellites are working better with or without the wired backhaul?

 

Hopefully someone can give me some instruction because otherwise I will have to return this set and look for something else :-)

 

Best regards,

Stefan from the Netherlands
