RBR40 Orbi wired devices not connecting suddenly
On my Orbi RBR40, wired connections suddenly stopped working while doing computer work. Wireless connections still work fine.
The Orbi is connected to a modem, with no other routers involved. No config setting should have changed, as I am the only user on my network who has access to the config panel. When I go into the Orbi admin panel and look through the devices, the wired devices will occassionally show up and then dissappear after a short time. The router is 18 months old. I tried the following to fix the problem:
- Restarting the Orbi (~1 min power cycle, and from config panel)
- Resetting the Orbi
- Restarting the modem
- Using multiple devices
- Using multiple ethernet ports
- Using multiple ethernet cords
- Updating firmware to the latest version

- Do you have any Switch between thr RBR40 and the wired devices?
- Does you see the same issue with wired devices to the Satellite, if you have any?
