RBR50, RBS50, AP, Ethernet Backhaul - Advice please?
Hi everyone,
My first post on the Netgear community - please forgive me for any wrongs that I commit!
I've spent hours reading posts here, as well as hours trying to make the RBR50+RBS50 wor...
Thank you so much for the input - have you experienced a reliable outcome using the Orbi with ethernet backhaul?
I have along with my friends I set up last summer. His has one satellite still using it on wired back haul. Zero issues.
Couple of caveats, if you have a need for a networks switch, non managed, non green ethernet switches are recommended. If you need to use a managed switch, disable IGMP protocols on this switch. Orbi and this protocol doesn't seem to work well together. :smileyfrustrated:
I have a few switches on my network. Two in between my router and satellite. Video streams from one room that connects to the satellites 5Ghz in the office next room over. Streams thru to the DISH Hopper just fine in this configuration.

Hmm. I was proposing to use a HP 1420 8-port switch just for the Orbi but that switch is a green switch. May I have to reconsider what switch to use - most are green these days.
You can find non green switches still. HP still has some I think. NG and D-Link does. I use D-Link DGS-105 and 108s. My man switch is a HP 1400 24 port going on about ten years old now. Solid switch. NG GS series I believe are standard switches as well. Might find them on Amazon. I find both on Amazon.
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.
