Orbi firmware update v2.1.4.16 availability

Ok, still others are having good experiences with there wired back haul. It's working for them. Its a fact. WIred back haul is working for me since day ONE!

If it's not working for you, then I suggestion returning your system or contacting NG support for there help. Good Luck.

You are incorrect about un-managed switches. Orbi works fine with non-managed switches.

I've had ZERO problems using non-managed switches as I have 3 in between my router and satellite.

Others work as well:

The only other item that can effect this is Managed switches. NG hasn't given the reason or hasn't come up with a fix. Users have found that disabling IGMP protocols on there Managed switches helps get them working with Orbi. Orbi doesn't have any problems with Non Managed switches and wired back haul.

That is a very unfortunate and persistent rumor.  Orbi absolutely has identical problems with wired backhaul and unmanaged switches - in fact, it has the same problem _using Orbi as a switch_ (which it is), without any other switches present.

I'm very sorry...but it is.  You're using anecdotal evidence as technical fact...and that just doesn't work.

 

If 5 people wear tap shoes when they set up their Orbis and they work great, and 50 people are wearing sneakers and have problems, it by no means suggests folks should run out to buy tap shoes to have a good experience with Orbi.

 

I've described the exact problem at least two dozen times on these forums.  It has been both empirically and technically vetted by two other people.  I know you mean well, but false explanations aren't helping.
