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...
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.

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)
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.
- Wiring more than one Sonos unit killed my Orbi. I don't think this is only a Orbi problem, it requires spanning tree protocol or something on the router. Only wire one Sonos unit fixed it for me
For Sonos only hardwire one of them. Let it use the sonos network for the sonos, works much better. When you hard wire all sonos features it limits functionality as well. Found all this out figuring wiring all of them was best, but then I tried to setup surround sound for tv and after lots of sonos forums found out best to use sonos network.
- Apparently this is not very popular but I have never experienced these kind of speeds that I am experiencing now… This latest update has radically optimized my system… I’m sorry everyone has trouble but my system is the best it has ever been… By far
