RBS50 wired backhaul shown as 5G/2.4G in AP Mode

Question

Here is my setup:Internet ---WAN---&gt;&nbsp;X4S R7800 (Router/Gateway)-- LAN#1 -&gt; &nbsp;RBR50 LAN#1 (AP mode)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -------------------------LAN#2 -&gt; &nbsp;RBS50 LAN#1&nbsp;both of RBR50 and RBS50 has framework v2.5.1.8 (latest as of now).&nbsp;Here is my problem. As I mentioned, in the setup, it's a wired backhaul, however, in the admin dashboard of the RBR50, the protocol of the backhaul is shown as 5G/2.4G but not Ethernet. the status of the backhaul is shown as poor.&nbsp;Any idea about why? Please let me know if you need more information.&nbsp;Thanks.

Have you tried connecting the RBS50 to one of the LAN ports on the RBR50, rather than to the R7800?

it would be very difficult to test that in my case. (realy hard to move the RBS). but why that matters?

Well, sorry.&nbsp; My Orbi WiFi is located right next to my modem, so I just assumed that your Orbi was right next to the R7800 and that it would be a simple matter of moving the cable.&nbsp; So, those "LANs" are switches located in different areas away from the R7800?

Thanks, actaully yes. the router, RBS and RBR are in three different rooms.

Well, then "I got nothin."&nbsp; You might want to browse some of the posts about firmware 2.5.1.8.&nbsp; When I saw the chorus of complaints, I decided to "wait and see".&nbsp; There might be something about ethernet backhaul in those posts.&nbsp;(a long time ago) it was recommended to do an ethernet sync with the satellite directly connected to the router with a patch cable before relocating it to the final destination.&nbsp; That would be an easy test.&nbsp; i.e. move it.&nbsp; Let it connect via WiFi backhaul. Then, plug in a patch cable and verify that it changes from WiFi to "wired" backhaul.&nbsp; Finally, move it back.&nbsp; (If you already did this, I have struck out again.)
