Orbi Satellite Drop Connection time to time

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.

Your switch is a managed switch:

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.

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?
