Orbi RBS50 wired backhaul but keeps using wireless
Hello,
I have read a lot on this issue on this forum. But nothing found for my issue yet.
I have connected the satellite with a ethernet cable through a router, but the backhaul between the Orbi's is wireless instead of wired.
My setup:
- TP-Link Archer C1200 as router connected to the inernet, WiFi switched off.
- Netgear Orbi RBR50 in AP mode connected to the TP-Link
- Netgear Orbi RBS50 connected to the TP-Link
The satellite (RBS50) is connected to the RBR50, but its backhaul is wireless (5G).
As suggested on this forum:
- I disabled IGMP in the TP-Link router, but that has no success.
- I switched off Daisy Chain Topology, but no success.
What else can I do to get the wired backhaul up and running?
- Ok, I managed it this way:

TP-Link ———RBS50

RBR50
Now the RBS50 uses the wired backhaul!
Tnx!

currently you're going
tplink----->RBR50

RBS50
Try it going:
tplink----Rbr50-----RBS50
The satellite should connect to the orbi router prior to connecting to the tplink
- My network layout does not allow that. I need a router / switch between the two. Or I must use a network connection block to connect the two cables between RBK50 and RBS50
You must connect the RBS directly behind the RBR or via a middle LAN switch that is also connected behind the RBR to get the RBS to sync up and work on wired ethernet backhaul:
It won't work as you have it connected currently.
