Ethernet Backhaul Best Practices
Two questions/clarifications (1) RBR50 is in AP mode. The RBR50 is connected to the ISP router using the RBR50's yellow WAN port. Going to try ethernet backhaul but wanted to do my homework first....
- A large switch with other devices is fine. I would just try the different combinations until you are happy. I concluded it was working fine only when the satellite showed up in the satellites list and said it was using a wired connection, even after a reboot.
thanks for clarification on pg 90, LAN port of ISP router to the WAN port on Orbi.
Reddit post about ethernet backhaul talks about a daisy chain setting. Does "daisy chain" need to be selected if the satellites are in a star topology back to 16 port ethernet switch?
Ethernet backhaul didn’t work for me when I turned off daisy chain mode so I assume it needs to be enabled.
MikeMcr so Daisy Chain needs to be enabled for even Wired backhaul? I have it off and wired backhaul is working nowhere in document it says need Daisy Chain enabled when using wired backhaul unless I am mistaken which I could be.
- If I remember correctly turning it off caused the satellite to say it was using wireless backhaul in the devices list instead of wired. When I turned it back on it then said wired.
after looking at the diagram I'm still a little confused on the ethernet backhaul (AP mode)
last diagram shows RBR50 and two RBS50 connected to small switch.
could a hybid of the last diagram be a large switch that is connected to the ISP router LAN port, the RBR50 connected to the large switch via its yellow WAN port and each satellite connected to the large switch via its own LAN port?
