RBR50 AP mode with one RBS50 but in app shows satellite disconnected when connected to a switch
Hello community, I have some issues with my setup and i would like to share it with you. My setup is like this: Cisco Router<->switch<->RBR50 (AP mode) and the satellite RBS50 is connected t...
I just got it working!!!
I connected both RBR and RBS to the cisco router. I got the ethernet backhaul working both on RBR web interface and in the android app.
Everything seems connected! FYI, i have connected the utp cable to the LAN port of RBR and to make the magenta ring dissapear i just connected a NAS (any always-on connected device will do).
Thank you everybody!
As you have discovered, the Orbi is sensitive to which ethernet port connects to the satellite. It does not expect to see satellites on the WAN port, only on the LAN ports.
Is it correct that the Cisco router and the D-Link switch are located with the ISP modem, which is also the central hub for ethernet wiring?
There is only a single ethernet cable connecting the hub to the location of the router, and only a single cable connecting the hub to the location of the satellite?
And, the satellite is hard wired because it does not achieve a "blue light" when using WiFi backhaul to the router?
