Repeated broadcast storms when using a wired satellite with RBR50
I am using RBR50 with one RBS50 satellite wired to a port on the Router. The RBR50 is in router mode. I have the latest firmware (V2.1.4.16) on both the router and satellite. I have read the threads ...
See how the disable Daisy Chain goes. Good Luck.
Well, no go..
Disabled Daisy Chain, removed other PC with wired connection into the RBR50. So now, only one satellite wired into the RBR50. The moment I connect the satellite, the network gets toast. Tried resetting the satellite and re-syncing. Same experience.
If the satellite backhaul is over wireless, things work ok. The moment the backhaul is wired, the network gets toasted (yes, I reset the satellite between trying out the different configurations).
Sigh.. Conclusion.. Wired Backhaul is *not* ready for primetime. Too bad as I could really use it given the distance between the RBR50 and the satellite.
Is the satellite the only wired device connected to the router besides the wired PC?
How long did you wait for the satellite to show top LED BLUE? Did it turn on Blue at all?
I found that when this storm happens there is a IP conflict with the satellite and some other device.
I recommend that when you first set up the router, Set up a IP address reservation for the 1 PC and the satellite on wireless connection first. Disconnect ALL other LAN and wireless devices from the router. Turn them ALL off if need be.
One the PC and satellite have a reserved IP address and the settings are saved and the router is rebooted. Connect the LAN cable between the router and satellite. Wait 5 minutes. The top led should turn on Pink then BLUE.
Can you get to this point with this method? Try this with the satellite in the same room as the router with a good quality LAN cable.
If you can, then start reconnecting other devices, one at a time...
