RBR50 Hardwire satellite
I have an Orbi RBR50 router with an an Orbi52 Harman/Kardon speaker satellite. I ran a Cat5e Ethernet cable between the two to have the satellite hardwired to the RBR50 router. My ISP is Verizon Fios...
- If the RBS40V shows connected you have completed the setup. Now you are ready to setup the Alexa mode.
I would ignore the status if the satellite shows good and is working, as should. The GUI and app can report wrong.
Make sure the LAN cable is of good quality and is know working cable. CAT6 is recommended.
Its recommended to first wirelessly sync the RBS to the RBR. Once this is done, then connect the LAN cable in between the RBS and RBR.
Do you have a LAN switch in between the RBR and RBS by chance?
The Cat5e is brand new. I checked out the cable to make sure the connectors were wired correctly. There is no internet switch or hub being utilized.
