What FW is currently loaded?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.
Daisy Chaing disabled? It should be for wired RBS connections.
Single SSID broadcast?

Thanks for the reply - here are the details.
I am running firmware 2.3.1.60.
the orbi is in router mode.
The managed switch is an engenius ews7928p. Stp is set to stp per this - https://forum1.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-Ethernet-Backhaul-with-Managed-Switches/td-p/1613897
i can see that all traffic is routing through the Ethernet port on this switch connected to the orbi.
Daisy chain is disabled.
i do have a single ssid for wireless.
Cheers,

IF this is a managed switch, go in and disable ALL IGMP protcols on the switch. ALso ensure this switch doesn't have any Green Ethernet features. IGMP and Green Ethernet is not compatible with Orbi. STP configuration doesn't meatter on managed switches. It's the IGMP protocols that conflict.

IGM was and is disabled and the switch isnt a "green" switch. I diconected the wire from the sattellite and it showed back up as a sattellite.
Replaced the wire and now it won't connect over the wire LOL. Guess Ill wait a couple more months :)
