Orbi RBK40 ethernet backhaul issues
I have an Orbi system(with 2 satellites) and it runs perfectly(most of the time!!!!!). my issue is this : most of the time all is perfect, until one(both do it at different times)satellite decides it...
The rbr40 is set in router mode(for DHCP assignment, not AP so is connected to my adsl modem.
it runs via cat6 cable to a netgear prosafe GS-108 unmanaged switch. one port runs to one satellite and secocond port to other satellite.
I have reservations set RBR40 192.168.0.1,RBS40(1) 192.168.0.2, RBS(2) 192.168.0.3
As i stated, this can be stable for weeks, or days!!!!! I never can tell and to be honest am now considering going over to Ubiquiti!
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?
The RBR40 should not have a IP address reservation.
Try powering off the switch and satellites. Power one the switch the power on 1 satellite at a time...
sorry, the router hasnt got a reservation, thats the address allocated to it in the dhcp settings.
I have tried powering the satellites on one at a time, after waiting for the first one to be stable first. even running for a couple of days with just one satellite connected then connecting the other one. again, stable for a indeterminate amount of time because all going down again.
