Orbi in AP mode with wired backhaul
I just received by Orbi system and am trying to get it setup but having issues. I have the Orbi Router set to AP mode because it is connected to my AT&T cable modem/router. I have a switch (a) conn...
Get that system out side of the closet. Most wifi devices need to be a open space.
What is the Mfr and model # of these switches? Managed or non-managed? Managed can cause problems if not configured right.
Unfortunately I cannot move the AT&T Modem/Router without rewiring all the ethernet connections in the house. That is the location of the incoming line and all the other lines branch from there.
That is why I got the Orbi to be a separate wifi system.
I currently have 2x GS108Ev3 and 2x GS105Ev2, these are unmanaged switches.
The AT&T Modem/Router connects to 1x GS108Ev3 and 1x GS105Ev2.
Then 2 ports from the GS108Ev3 go to the remaining GS108Ev3 and GS105Ev2.
The Orbi router is connected to the 2nd GS105Ev2 and the Orbi satellite is connected to the 2nd GS108Ev3
