Orbi RBR20 Backhaul Ethernet/Switch
Hello All, I'm having a problem with my Netgear Orbi. Here's the setup Netgear RBR20, with 2 satellites. I'm using the router with FIOS, and not using using a FIOS modem, direct ethernet from the O...
CAT6 would be recommended and to use ALL cat6 cabling.
IF the connection works with out the switch then seem to have problems with the switch, then the switch would be a cause of the problem. I see this model switch has green ethernet features, (Energy Efficient Ethernet) 802.3az standard. Something that causes problems with Orbi Systems.
Yes, that's what I've done and the 50 foot Ethernet cable works fine with one computer.
Someone told me to get a cable that's backwards compatible with CAT5e. the one I have is CAT6.

Be sure to disable Daisy Chain on the RBR before hand.

Okay, I wasn't sure if it was a green switch, I have a couple other Linksys switches, which seem to have the same issue,
I'll try a netgear, non-green switch.
Thanks,

My setup is modem/ONT (non router) to Orbi router to switch to 2 Orbi satellites, as well as several wired devices. One satellite has a switch connected to it with several wired devices connected. All is working, so since you say a PC connected to the cable is fine, I suspect the switch. FYI my switches are simple Netgear ProSafe GB switches.
