RBK20 - Ethernet backhaul with multiple switches
Hello,
I have a RBK20 and this network configuration (image). When I try to connect via ethernet backhaul using 3 switches, devices 1 and 2 works perfectly but device 3 keeps rebooting, even if I connect device 3 directly to the swtich 1 and then device 3 to the switch 3 It also keeps rebooting. But if I delete switch 3 and connect device 3 directly to switch 1 it works perfectly.
Do backhaul just works with 2 switches o what should I do in this case if I need 3 switches?
Thanks a lot

The number of switches is not significant. Some switches are not compatible with Orbi backhaul.
Please identify what brand/model these three switches are.
Thanks for the reply, the switch 1 is a TP Link TL-SG1016D and switch 2 and 3 are TP Link LS1008G.
What should I be aware to buy a switch compatible with Orbi Backhaul or what brands/model do you recommend?
Thanks a lot.
Can you swap switch 2 and switch 3 to see if the problem moves with the switch?
NETGEAR GS-105/108v4 and GS305/308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series non managed switches work for Orbi systems.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cable. CAT6 is recommended.
