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.

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.

My netwerk cable are fine. Its a SFTP CAT 6 cable.
Everything works fine, copying files from my nas to computer i got the max speed of 113~mbps- FURRYe38Sep 16, 2019Guru - Experienced User
Thats pretty good speed for nas copy operations. I usually see 90Mb with my NAS.

So I tried setup number 3
https://kb.netgear.com/000051205/What-is-Ethernet-backhaul-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System
I connected the RBR to the switch and the RBS 1 AND RBS 2 also.
I still get that the second orbi drops it connections.
Even if I check in the status menu of the RBR. It says disconnected.
I tried a different orbi but stil I get the same problem.
The orbi also flashes white and solid blue.
Then it drops its connection. And again begin with flashing white then solid blue. This goes on every 15/30 minutes.
I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
