Problem of newly added Orbi ethernet backhaul
I am using a RBR50 as my main router connecting to two satellites wirelessly in daisy chain like this:
RBR50 <==> RBS50 <==> RBW30
In order to extend my wifi signal, I bought a new RBS50 and ...
You can try disabling Daisy Chain and see. I don't know if this will work. I know for most wired back haul configurations, Daisy Chain needs to be disabled. Also not sure if your configuration is supported. Most satellites have to be directly connecte to the base router or thru a non managed switch to the base router. I don't know if daisy chaining from a wireless connected satellite to a wired connected satellite is supported.
I have daisy chained topology turned off and my ethernet backhaul has been broken for most of this year. It was supposed to have been fixed, I believe, in a recent firmware update but I don't see any difference. Looking to move to another system due to this bug. Funny thing is that it used to work.
I also had issues with Ethernet Backhaul that I later found out to be caused by my wired speakers to the Orbi Satellite.
Do you have any wired speakers (connected to the LAN ports of the Router/Satellite)? Any other wired devices?
My Ethernet Backhault works fine for me now.
What FW is currently loaded?
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Hoping NG support can have a look at this. So try this out as well.

2.2.1.210 on the RBR50 & RBS50
2.2.1.204 on the RBW30
I have a couple of non-managed gigabit switches between the routers and satellite. I don't get why this used to work with the same switches and devices on my network. The thing that broke it was simply a firmware upgrade at some point earlier this year.
