Hi, running RBR50 (with V2.1.4.10) & 2 RBS50 (V2.1.4.10) .
since last nights firmware update, my network is dead. rebooting the router & Satellites dont help . searching this forum i see there is some issue with wired backhauls on v2.1.4.10( which i use on both of my satilites) . ive allready tried resetting the router & Satellites back to default . then as soon as i bring 1 Satellite with the wired backhual up, it crashes evrything .
im going to try going wireless on the backhaul , but this does not give me the best performacnce . can someone tell me if im missing something ?
thanks
After setting up one satellite via wireless backaul, then connecting the ethernet cable between the router and the satellite, how long are you waiting before checking the connection? 5 minutes in needed for the system to reconfigure the wired back haul. Are you seeing BLUE LED on the top of the satellite give time after the ethernet cable is connected?
Any network switches in between the router and satellite?
Connecting 1 Satellite at a time?
Disable Daisy Chain on the router before connecting the ethernet cable?

seems like wifi backhaul on both satlites did the trick . seems stable for now . ive been fighting with this all evenening , so ill wait a bit before trying the wired backhaul again . & now that i think about it, i do have an unmanged swith between 1 of the satilte (wasnt a problem before) .
after having sucsess swithing to wifi backhaul , figured id try 1 satilite with a wired connection . plugged in the ethernet & rebooted the satilite . after a couple of minutes the network became unresponsive ( wired & wireless devices lost network & internet access) . i waited close to 10 min then unplugged the ethernet & rebooted all the devices. evreyhting came back up & seems stable. how can i let netgear know wired backhaul is broken ?
Dont know if this will help anyone . anytime i plugged in one of my satellites via a wired connection , the whole network whould crash . i then reflashed the firmware on that satellites . now im back up with both of my satellites using a wired connection .
