OrbiOS 2.1.4 availability
A quick update. We're about to release an updated version of OrbiOS 2.1.4 in the next few days through our auto-update mechanism for all Orbi models. When it goes live, you should see a prompt in t...
Try setting up 1 satellite first via wifi, then connect the ethernet cable and give 5 minutes to let it configure the system. Check internet connection thru the satellite. If good, do same for 2nd satellite.
How big is your home? Sq Ft? Distance between router and satellite is key. 30 ft minumum distance is a good start.

I have 2 satellites, and with os 2.1.3.4 the ethernet backhaul was a pain.
So that has not been resolved.
But release notrs say tat is enaugh to wait 2-5 minute for it ti fix by itself???
Or is beter for me to use 1 satellite with ethernet and the other with wifi?
My house is 2500 sq feet on three flor.
My orbi router is in the middle floor
1st and 3rd floors have orbi satellite.
Wifi connection is good, but i would prefer the wired one since close to each orbi unit i have a ethernet port that goes in a switch in the basement where i have a rack with a switch and internet modem.
But when i try to use ethernet backhaul is a pain.... simply does not work, i think it creates something strange with sonos that i have all wired in the same switch (i have 8 sonos components all wired in that switch and they work flawlessly)
Disable the sonos while setting up the system. Backhaul is working on v2.1.3.4 and should be same on v2.1.4.10.

I'll try to disable sonos... but my guess is thet when if plug it again it will be the same...
my switch is unmanaged, so it shoub be not a problem.
As of today in that switch there is sonos and sky q plugged, and both work fine
Yes, unmanged is good.
Seen others post about Sonos causing problems though. I have wired back haul working here, however I don't have any Sonos.
