Terrible Bug - Adding a RBS20 satellite to RBK 50 system breaks the LAN
Following up from another thread- I just got done with a full troubleshoot and it appears that Interoperability between Orbi systems is rather badly broken. Many users may not even notice this as th...
Just a tiny thing. The backhaul rates for the RBS50 and RBS20 are switched on the drawing. The RBS50 backhaul is "up to 1333mb" and the RBS20 backhaul is "up to 866mb". https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/orbi/RBS20.pdf
Yeah - Guess your post and my edit crossed - Noticed that after posting the OP :)
The drawing doesn't indicate what is connected to the Orbi WiFi.
Does "location" make a difference in regard to the RBS20?
i.e. when it is connected in the same room as the router, the problems still occur?
That would have made the drawing even messier :)
There are approx 40 devices connecting to the Orbis, a few phones , laptops , tablets , A couple of streaming devices and a large bunch of Alexas, google hubs, wireless bulbs and switches
Location makes a difference in that if I were to connect my latop in proximity to the RBR50/RBS20, it would see devices on this segment fine but not the RBS50 segment - and vice versa

By "location", I meant where the RBR20 was physically located. If you still have it, what happens if you turn it on (literally) in the same room with the router. (Not where it was located to serve the porch.)
