RBR50 - AP Mode - Internet vs LAN Port
Dear all,
I've got a weird behaviour on my RBK53 (firmware: V2.5.1.16) and hope someone can help to give me advise.
My setup is as follow:
Fibre 1Gbps Broadband > Router: Asus 86U > Orbi
I have Cat6 cable running through the house. RBK53 is on wired backhaul.
RBR50 is in AP mode and connected directly to AsusLAN1 port
1st Satellite: RBS50 is connected directly to Asus LAN2 port
2nd SatelliteL RBS50 is connected directly to Asus LAN3 port
PC is connected directly to RBR50 - LAN port
Synology NAS is connected directly to RBS50 (1st) LAN port
Scenario 1:
On the RBR50 - If i connect the Asus LAN cable into RBR50's Internet port
File transfer speed from PC to NAS can only hit 50mbps max.
Scenario 2:
On the RBR50 - if i connect the Asus LAN cable into RBR50's LAN port
Red glowing light on the RBR50
File transfer speed from PC to NAS can hit 110mbps max.
I would very much use Scenario 1 because of the annoying glowing red light in Scenario 2, but the LAN transfer speed is halved. Also, i get 1 less LAN port to use to the RBR50 ...
Can anyone help me on the above?
Pardon my english.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
D.T.

Plug your RBS's into the lan port on the RBR. Not into the asus.
Its should go:
Asus lan cable----->wan port on RBR------->lan cables from RBR---->rbs devices.
Try that.
