Orbi RBR50 - hardwire satellites issues
I have the rbr50 and 2 satellites. Did have full coverage for all area's. I can hardwire the satellites to the router, but only have a single cat V cable at each location but all terminate together...

Make sure the RBS are wirelessly connected and synced to the RBR first, then ethernet connect them to a non managed switch that is connected behind the RBR.
NG GS-105/108v4 and GS308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems.
