RBR50 with 2 Hardwire RBS50 and switch Problem
All,
About to give up despite the large investment Ivemade in Orbi. Originally I had 1 RBR50 and 2 hardwired RBS50 and then 2 RBW20 plugin satellites for a large home. Ive replaced every bit o...
LATEST Firmware is the most up to date for RBR50 and satellites. Whether hard connected (Ethernet backhaul) or wirelessly connected I get the fast speeds. In either scenario everything starts to fail as soon as I connect the switch reducing my speeds to 5-10Mbps

- What switch do you use?
- Do you connect it to the Router or Satellite?
- What other wired devices do you have attached to Orbi nodes?
Ive tried multiple switches both new and same problem. Interestingly enough I have a switch connected to one of the satellites and I have no problems its only the switch connected directly to the Orbi router that causes this.
I have some home audio equipment connected to the main switch in an electronics closet as well as home automation and a verizon network extender.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch?

I tried 2 different Netgear GS316 (16 port gigabit) switch thinking maybe the switch went bad and even tried a TPlink smart switch. All recreate the same issue!

- You mentioned audio equipment connected to the switch. Any mesh speakers (e.g. SONOS)?
- Nope. Just Russound equipment and an nvr and some home automatiom
