Orbi RBR40 to RBS20 wired issue's

Hello, 

 

   I'm not very familiar with wireless setup and modes and what not. I've had my Orbi 40 and satellite 20s setup for a while but i had one that would always drop due to being in a seperate building from the main house. I ended up finding a CAT 5E cable going to both buildings and I put ends on them and I'm trying to make one of my satellites wired. It appeared to work for a day although it had an orange halo but now it appears to not connect at all. What should I be changing to get this one satellite to work being wired? Thank you

    Easy check? get a short cable and move it by the router and connect it. Maybe the cable ends are bad, maybe its only a cat5 cable (not cat5e), or even maybe the cable is bad.
