RBK50: Ethernet Backhaul + Multi Gig
Hi there, I'm in trouble with my new network setup which include a Multigig ISP router (10Gbit GPON) and Orbi RBK50 (1 Router in AP Mode and 2 Sats). My goals are: Keep a multi gig link from ISP ...
If your connecting your 2.5Gb PC to the nr2 switch then this will work to maintain the 2.5Gb speed from the host router to the PC.
You can connect the RBR to nr2 here as well, then connect the RBS if you want it ethernet connected to the back of the RBR or use the D-Link switch in between the RBR and RBS for this segment of the chain.
You could connect the RBR to nr1 switch then behind the RBR, directly connect the RBS or connect the DLink switch behind the RBR then connect the RBS to the DLink switch in this segment.

There is something I'm missing here. The only real difference I can see from my old config and new is that Orbi Router is connected to ISP router and not direct to the Switch. Following your suggestion if I put another Zyxel MG105 I can do the magic?
Something like that:
ISP Router ---> MG105 nr1* ---> MG105 nr2** --->DGS-1100***
*Zyxel 2,5Gig unmanaged: Orbi Router (AP mode) connected
**Zyxel 2,5Gig unmanaged: Orbi Sat1
***Dlink Managed: Orbi Sat2 connected (it works before with Ethernet Backhaul, I can bypass if needed or replace)
What do you think? It could be ok?
Spoiler
Old config:
ISP Router ---> Orbi Router (AP mode) ---> TL-SG1008D* ---> DGS-1100**
*TP LINK Green: Orbi Sat1 connected + Orbi Router connected
** Dlink Managed: Orbi Sat2 connected
EthBack working
Actual config:
SAGEMCOM 5684s* ---> MG105** ---> DGS-1100***
*ISP ROUTER: Orbi Router (AP mode) connected
**Zyxel 2,5Gig unmanaged: Orbi Sat1 connected
*** Dlink Managed: Orbi Sat2 connected
