Orbi RBS50 wired backhaul setup issue
Hi, I have an RBR50 and RBS50, both running the latest firmware. (2.7.3.22) System has been working well for quite a while using wireless backhaul, but I just put in a wired connection elsewhere in t...
p.s. Did I not read the description correctly? i.e. "The wired connection itself seems good - I can plug my xbox in, and it gets full signal." Does this mean that the xbox is connected to the ethernet cable which runs back to the router? It might be worth taking just a minute to go back to that step and look at the web interface, Advanced Tab. Click on the blue box Show Statistics and see what speed the xbox is connected at. Does the Orbi report LAN (going to xbox) at 1000/full or 100/full?
So this comment: ""The wired connection itself seems good - I can plug my xbox in, and it gets full signal."
Was really meant just to confirm that the ethernet jack that I'm plugging the RBS into has a good connection - if I plug my xbox into that jack and test the network connection on the xbox, it shows me the full speeds I'd expect for my internet plan.
When I plug the RBS into the jack, and then plug the xbox into the RBS, I believe I was also still seeing full speeds on the xbox...but then was having the wifi issues.
The wifi connection issues that I'm seeing when connected via wired backhaul did NOT exist previously when it was on wireless backhaul.
Thanks for clarifying that. Sorry I did not pick up on it at first.
Did you have a chance to verify what Orbi thinks of the connection between the router and xbox? (1000Full vs 100Full).
Do I understand correctly that there are two separate locations for the satellite:
- The first location, which was definitely using WiFi backhaul, and
- The second location (farther from the router) which hopes to use ethernet backhaul.
At the second location, the Orbi router Attached Devices page shows the satellite connected over "Wired" backhaul?
Yes, you are correct on the two statements.
I do not know where to find the 1000 vs 100 data on the web interface? I don't see that in connected devices.
Also - I moved it back to the original location yesterday when the new location didn't work. Last night, I moved it again to the new location with wired backhaul...and...now it seems to be working? We'll see if the devices connected to it can maintain their connection today.
