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!!!

Thank you everybody!
Hi again,
The d-link switch and cisco router is in the same place. The RBR goes to the LivingRoom through a utp cable which is connected to the d-link switch and the satelite uses the same setup to the first floor.

and use the lan port, not the wan of the RBR but a solid magenta came in.When i plug the utp to the WAN port then the magenta goes off.
I have read a lot of opinions here but which is the right one when connecting to AP mode?
Thank you
