RBR50 Ethernet Backhaul not working
Hello, I am unable to get my ethernet Bakhaul work on RBR50 system. My setup is: I have a ISP fiber internet, and the ISP-provided modem-router whose wifi I have switched off and whose LAN p...
When the satellite switches from WiFi to backhaul when connected with a short ethernet patch cable but does not switch when connected with the installed Cat6 cable, the cable path is obviously the problem.
Length? up to 300ft of Cat6 cable should be fine. I doubt a cable run in a typical house will be longer than 300ft.
I suspect the cable terminations at each end. I would tend to test with a laptop computer, but so few of them now come with ethernet ports that this is often not possible. How about connecting that Asus router (at the far end) to the Orbi LAN port rather than to the ISP router? (I have daisy chained as many as three routers.)
The length is less than 100 ft
I tried your suggestions.
- With Ethernet cable in RBR, and other end in ASUS, no signal at ASUS
- With Ethernet cable in RBR, and other end in Laptop Ethernet Port, no signal at Laptop
- With Ethernet cable in ISP Modem, and other end in ASUS, ASUS is delivering Internet
- With Ethernet cable in ISP Modem, and other end in Laptop Ethernet Port, no signal at Laptop
Very strange....?
