Orbi Satellite Drop Connection time to time
Hi, For some reason, my RBS50 Orbi Satellite dropped connection couple times a day. The synptoms are: 1. all the devices conntected to RBS50 Satellite dropped the connection (both Wireless a...
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?
Maybe the switch is the cause.
Seen issues with switches with IGMP protocols and green ethernet features cause problems between the RBR and RBS if one is in between them. Non managed and non green ethernet switches are prefer in between the RBR and RBS. I use HP Procurve 1400 series switches between mine.
Let us know the results of removing the switch between the RBR and RBS. The RBS will connect correctly and will be seen in the UI. This points to a switch problem and rules out a FW issue. FW doesn't matter in this case.

Need to disable all IGMP protocols and green ethernet features on this switch, then see connect it between the RBR and RBS. If the problem continues, find you a non managed switch with out these features. I think NGs GS105 will work. I use D-Link DGS105-108s and HP Procurve 1400 series switches that do work with Orbi.

V2.5.1.8 firmware does matter
