Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
Is the cable of good quality between the satellite and router? Swap out to be sure.
After connecting and giving 5 minutes for the system to reconfigure. Do a reboot on the router. Clear browser caches then check the status of the conection on the router.

Just now, I connected a satellite directly to the Orbi Router, and it still won't show/do Ethernet backhaul. The GUI shows that it's using 5G backhaul.
I'd really like to get this sorted out ASAP, as AT&T is installing 1Gbps internet tomorrow, and I want my Wi-Fi to scream :)

After several reboots of everything, I was able to get wired backhaul working via direct connection from satellite to router. Now I've moved the satellite back to it's main home/room. Only a single switch in between the router and the satellite, but I still cannot get it to work again.
Possible cabling between the router and satellite and or this switch. If it worked directly connected to the router using different cableing, Then you'll need to check cabling and this switch. Which switch are you using here?

Just a thought... have you tried power cycling the switch so it rebuilds its arp table?

No, but that is a great idea. Will try.

Switch is D-Link DGS-1024D, cabling is all Cat6 solid core UTP, never had an issue before.
