RBS50 wired backhaul stopped working and messing up internet
I've had the RBS50 and 2 satellites running without issue for several months until today. The satellites are connected with ethernet cables for wired backhaul. Came home from dinner and wireless ne...
Thanks for trying to help.
- I do have a netgear 308 switch between the wall and the orbi.
- Daisy chain is enabled (should this be disabled? Read some threads about this and not entirely sure what setting it should be in).
Well, after a sleepless night trying to sort this out, I finally decided to turn off everything in the house. Literally anything that had an Internet connection.
Turned on everything one by one, and found out that the Sony sound bar connected to the satellite was the culprit. As mentioned in first post, every time I disconnected the ethernet cable to the satellite, my network would be restored. Decided to try disconnecting the lan cables on the back of the satellite one by one, and that's when I found out it was the sound bar.
I did a reboot of the sound bar and re-initialized its ethernet connection. And after that everything became back to normal.
Not sure what happened in between the afternoon and dinner time. Perhaps a power trip or some ip address conflict.
Goodness can't believe I spent hours and hours trying to sort this out...

Yep tried that. It didn't work (but then again that was with the Sony sound bar plugged in to the satellite, before I figured out it was causing the issue)
- Daisy chain is enabled (should this be disabled? Read some threads about this and not entirely sure what setting it should be in). "Yes."
Thanks! I will head into settings and turn it off.Try the RBS thats not working in the same room with the RBR. Let it wirelessly sync, then after, connect it usning a LAN patch cable to the back of the RBR...
