ORBI Wired Backhaul not working
Hi everyone!
Im a proud owner of a orbi RBK50 (53) System.
I just moved to a news house so i had the opertunity to lay a wired backhaul network for my orbi system.
Happy that i was ...but 1 of my orbi doesnt preform well
The RBS drops its wifi connection and disappears from the network. I have scanned the wifi network and i see the mac adress of the RBS dropping and comming back up. This happends al the time.
In the RBR on the status page you see that the RBS is not connected and a few minuten later its connect.
I have search the internet for a fix and did the following things:
I tried to turned it to a wirrles backhaul but the problem is stil the same.
I did a clean wipe of the RBS true Tellnet
Gone back a frimeware and reflash the current frimeware
I used the reset button on the backside of the RBS
None of the above helped me out
RBR50 Settings:
Daisy-Chain Topology - Disabled
Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices - Enable
MU-MIMO - Enable
Fast Roaming - Enable
I have tried turining them on and if but there was no change.
So before i ship it back for warranty i want to know if my setup isnt the problem.
My setup is the following:
The problem is with the RBS50-2
1.modem/router from the provider.(i will refer it as Modem)
WAN/DHCP/NAT is running from here.
Wifi is turned of
PORTS:
1.1 one cable to netgear 8 port switch.
1.2 one cable to RBR50
2.
RBR50
PORTS:
2.1 cable from the Modem to RBR50 (explained in 1.2)
3. RBS50 - 1
3.1 One cable from switch to RBS50
3.2 One cable from RBS50-1 to RBS50-2
4. RBS50 - 2 (this one is the problem)
4.1 recieving one cable from RBS50-1(explained in 3.2)
I have read on the forms, if you want to setup a wired backhaul you have to connect the RBS wirelles to the RBR.
If that is done. Connect the RBS directly to the RBR by ethernet.
When in the status page the wirles backhaul changes to Wired you can disconnect the RBS and put them on there place.
This worked for me but stil got the problem with RBS50-2
I think i have to turn it in for warranty but its to much of a drag haha.
so if anyone can help me?

Router Firmware Version
V2.3.5.30 Have you swapped positions with RBS #1 with RBS#2?
What is the model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration.
Sounds like the #2 RBS is faulty and needs to be replaced. I would get it replaced or take the entire system back to place of purchase and get another. Inform the company you got the system from that the RBS is faulty so they can get it sent back to NG.

I have tried a different orbi RBS50 from a friend.
But i still got the same problem.
I have connected RBS50-1 to RBS50-2. I think thats the problem.
If i connect the RBS50-1 and RBS50-2 directly to the switch it works. But i cannot use the RBS50-1 to connect to the RBS50-2 thru ethernet.So can you connect both RBS directly to the RBR?
I don't know if daisy chaining RBS to the back of another RBS with ethernet will work.
Both directly connected to the RBR should though.
