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.

Daisy chain is Disabled
If i connect the RBS both to the RBR it works fine.
So i think the setup must be then RBR Switch RBS50-1 and Switch RBS50-2
To Bad i cant use the RBS to connect a different RBS- FURRYe38Sep 13, 2019Guru - Experienced User
Ok, so the RBS work both when directly connected to the RBR.
What happens if you enable Daisy Chain, then connect the RBS to the RBS via eithernet.
It's supposedly supported in this configuration:
Be sure your using good quality LAN cables. CAT6 is recommended.- Sidd93Sep 16, 2019Aspirant
Hi,
I tried that already.
It only works if you connect the RBR directly to the RBS and RBS to RBS
I got a different setup. My RBR is connected to the Switch and from there to the RBS50-1. But if i connect my RBS50-1 to the RBS 50-2
it doesnt work. the RBS50-2 drops it connection.
In the link i got a combination of the second and the thrid one.
