RBR50 + satellite RBS50 issues with wired DHCP/Backhaul
Setup I have a wired network on 3 floors. They seem to be able to communicate with one another just fine. On each floor there is a Netgear prosafe GS108. They are connected by Cat5 cables. On th...
Ensure Daisy Chain is disabled.
When connecting the satellites via wired back haul, connect 1 satellite first via wireless, then once you get the BLUE led on top of the satellite, connect the LAN cable between the satellite and Orbi router. Wait for up to 5 minutes for the top LED to turn BLUE. Once this is done, do a IP address reservation for the satellite ON the Orbi router. Save and apply.
"Issues were reallt visable from Yesterday when the auto update for V2.3.1.60 was installed" Huh? :smileysurprised:
Auto update or did you select to update to v60 in the FW update section since it was notifiying you that it was available?
You might try a factory reset and setup from scratch after v60 is loaded as a last resort.
Thanks FURREYe38
Checked and did the following
1> Between the GS108 on the Ground floor and the GS105 on the st floor was a cross over cable. I changed that to a straight patch cable. (Rewired the heads)
This seems to have fixed the issue concerning the backhaul and being able to accept DHCP requests on the 1st floor.
Also followed the sudgestion to turn of diasy chaining.
2> Can't get DHCP assigned address on the second floor. I rewired two cables going to the 2nd floor from the lioft and used a LAN tester on it. Signal is good.
a> When I connect the cable to the Saterlight Orbi on the 1st floor and the other end to a laptop on the 2nd Floor I get DHCP.
b> When I connect the cable to the saterlight on 1st floor and the other end to the GS108 (2nd floor) and then my laptop to the GS108 (2ng floor) I don't get DHCP assign ip address and just a self signed on.
However when connecting the GS108 (2nf floor) (Link light on the GS108 shows activity) to the GS105 on the 1st floor the link lights don't turn on.
This is driving me mad!
Sounds like this maybe a LAN switch issue. Swap around switches to check behavior. Remove them one at a time to test.
