This culprit here is Router WAN and Satellite LAN are on the same switch. Router WAN port and Satellite LAN port has to be on different network/switch. Take a look at this on How do I set Ethernet backhaul up on my Orbi WiFi System.
Connect Orbi yellow WAN port directly to ISP/Router LAN port, then get a 2nd cable and connect Orbi LAN port to the switch.
My router and satellite are under AP mode, so i don't think there is any difference between WAN and LAN.
And actually i tried to connect the Router's LAN to the switch as well. doesn't work.
So if you have the RBR connected to the up stream router using the WAN port, connect the RBS directly to the back of the RBRs LAN port. Do you still see this problem?
seem like no, I'll give it a try now, and see if any process restared on satellite.
however, as per netgear official website, it's a valid setup to have both router and satellite connected to a swtich to have ethernet backhaul.. why it doesn't work well in my case?
