I have a set-up with a router and two satellites with ethernet backhaul. After a satellite auto-updated to 2.1.4.10 my internet died. Then I had to do a manual update on Router and other satellite. (Because Orbi doesn’t detect latest version?!?!?) However, now my Ethernet backhaul doesn’t function anymore. Every time I add ethernet, all network activity dies. No Ip or anything. Just as before Orbi support Ethernet backhaul. My house is concrete - I have extremely bad reception on the wifi backhaul. Deply disapointing. I have spend hours on this – Please advise

Try 2.1.4.16 released just last night with a factory reset. I had to make sure Daisy chain was active.

Same issue here. I had to make sure Daisy chain was turned on, or I get nothing. Hopefully yours may have been turned off.

Thanks for the help. I’ll try - even tough they are not Daisy chained (star)Best,

Yes. Same here. I'm currently only using one wired satellite because my house is only 1700 square feet, but I still had to have that in or it did nothing.

Hi Again! Daisy chain was on - Disabling it did not do the trick. Everything was fine with the last firmware. This is kind of a dealbreaker for me... I can't get in touch with Netgear support - Does anybody know of a way?? Best, J

Any network switches in the mix? If so, Mfr and model#?

What is the mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too?

What other devices do you have connected to the Orbi router?

  Hi Again.
  
  Reset didn't work :S
  
  My ISP modem is Optic from Alcatel Lucent. It's hard fixed by IPS to wall - so I can't check model.
  
  I also have a simple Sempre unmanaged low power 1G/100/10 8-port switch.
  
  Please advise.
  
  Best, Jeppe
