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...
Have you tried using the ethernet back haul with out the switches in the mix to see if the Orbi system works....
I have uverse gigafiber and a PACE 5268AC gateway. I have 3 Orbi Satellites (2 are ethernet backhaul and 1 is wireless). My firmware is v2.1.2.18. My Orbi system has been working perfectly in AP mode (over 50 days without disconnects). Ookla speedtest is getting 400 mbps upload and 400 mbps download (if I were to connect my laptop with ethernet into the back of the RG I get 950+ mbps up and down) . The two ethernet backhaul Satellites both connect into the same unmanaged netgear switch. I don't know if it matters but I have the Orbi Router on a static IP 192.168.1.50. I can't remember if I have the Orbi router connected to the unmanaged netgear switch or directly to the PACE 5268AC (I believe that it is connected to the yellow plug on the Orbi router). (not home until Saturday otherwise I would be able to tell you exactly how the Orbi router (in AP mode) is connected)
