RBS50 wired backhaul stopped working
I have two satellite RBR50s and both are connected to a wired backhaul. Both were working until recently (both are on the most recent firmware (V2.3.5.30). Now one of them will only connect to ...
- Thanks for the quick response! It is connected directly to a MOCA extender.
I did get it to work eventually. I turned it off, unplugged all Ethernet wires, turned it back on. After it connected to the Wi-Fi backhual after about 15 min, I connected the wired backhaul wire. It worked then.
Are the RBS directly connected to the RBR or connected thru a ethernet switch?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.
Is Daisy Chain disabled? DC needs to be disabled if RBS are connected via ethernet.
Have you tried a factory reset on the RBS. Power them OFF. Connect one with ethernet lan cable. Power one RBS ON. Wait for the pulsating top WHITE led. Then press the Sync button on the RBS and RBR. Try this while in the same room as the RBR with a patch cable.
CAT6 patch cables recommended.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since upgrading to v30?

Enjoy.
Since when is it required to turn off Daisy Chain to use Wired Backhaul? Just before this last (v30) update, I had 2 out 3 satellites on Wired (one RBS50 and one RBS40V) and the third RBS50 used to chain off the RBS40V. I planned to connect the third via ethernet also. After this update, the one wired satellite started having fits and would throw the router into a tailspin. Tried the re-sync but not the full procedure to reset yet. But neither RBS50 will connect via wired anymore about the update. But they are chaining off the RBS40V which is doing just fine with wired connection even after it's own update.
So if I turn Daisy Chain off, does that kill my one method of feeding the farther away satellites? Then I really do have to get the wired backhaul working again on these RBS50's. So frustrating to do all this maintenance after firmware updates... almost as bad as dreading a Windows 10 update...!!!
- Can someone confirm you have to manually turn of daisy chaining if you connect satellites directly to the network via ethernet cable, this does not seem right, surely it should automatically ignore the setting if ethernet connection is seen ?.
