- MkstretchNov 29, 2022AspirantI did try to plug in the on satellite and it did not work. It just said offline. Guess I need to read up some more on how this is done. My RBR20 is plugged into a switch on my 1st floor and I tried to plug in the satellite to a switch on my 2nd floor.

What switches is it? And a layout of how you actually have it setup helps.
How is the rbr connected to the switch? Via lan port? Wan port?
What modem/gateway is the rbr connected to?

My Verizon Fios internet comes into my basement and plugs into my gateway router. My RBR is connected to a Netgear switch. (not sure if you need model). I have a moca adapter that supplies internet to my switch. I have the ethernet cable connected to the RBR’S ethernet port that is marked internet. My satellite I’m trying to hard wire is connecting to a switch that also gets internet to my switch there as well.
