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...
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
BAck haul set up everthing seem to be fine, then router shut down. did a factory reset got it back up. still need to reserve the ip address. still undure where i go to reserve an ip
- Ran ok for two hours this morning the. The router turned magenta - and I’m done with it- set up backhaul an thought problems were solved- but unfortunately I can’t rely on the instability of this system. My wife has a home based business an needs internet. I’m throwing it in a box, a damned exp lesson, putting old reliable google WiFi back in till I have confidence in a better system thanks for your help. I think your fighting a losing battle till Netgear gets their bugs fixed.
