Orbi setting up backhaul with spectrum
my system Spectrum internet with Arris TM1602A MTA cable modem. RBR50 RBS50 and an RBS40
I am trying to get a morfe stable system and am looking at setting up wired backhaul with the orbi. can be...
One more question since I’m running hardwire this weekend, any preferences for running cable from router to individual satellites or daisy cahin from router to one satellite and connect the last satellite off it
I recommend each satelllite connect directly to the base router. You can connect them daisy chain wired I believe, however if the in between satellite happens to experienece problems, this may effect the down stream satellite. So I would avoid this possibilty by direct connect each satellite to the base router for independent operation.
One last question I’m tech inclined but this is new to me. So I set up backhaul do you reccomend static ip for the router and the satellites. If so what do I use for the ip. Do i set the ip prior to syncing the satellites
Lets use IP address reservation. This would be set ON the router after the satellite(s) have been connected to the base and are up and running. You can use what the router assigns to the satellite after they are connected.
Static IP addressing is set ON devices and involves being out side the routers IP address pool.
These are general normal networking nomenclature.
bacul is wired and running - still need to setup reserved ip address for the router and satelittes. erlier you said to turn resrve IP on i can find it give me soe guidance thanks
