Orbi RBR50 - Poor Ethernet Backhaul on Satellites
Hi
I have RBR50 and 2 x Satellites. I also have Virgin Media Superhub 3, set in 'Modem mode'. Modem is on static 192.168.0.1 (Unable to change ISP set)
Satellites are connect via ethernet...
If this is your switch your using, I believe this maybe a managed switch:

if so, see if you can find the IGMP proctols with in it's management page. Disable ALL IGMP procols on the switch. Others have reported having problems with Orbi systems and Managed switches. Seem that IGMP protocols maybe the culprit:

I use non managed switches and have had not problems connecting my satellite via wired back haul.
Yes, it's amanaged switch, I will check the settings and disable if any are active and come back with the result. Many thanks.

Hi
Been away overnight, but back and shortly going into the loft to check the managed switch and will confirm active wired connections to the router and sats. I've notcied that my sonos speakers in close proximity to the sats are not connecting to the respective sat but the router which is further away, is that a sign there is an issue?
Many thanks, Rik.
