Using satellites as a managed switch?
Hi there, I was wondering if i can use the Orbi RBS50 satellites as a sort of managed switch as well when they are in mesh? My idea was to have one LAN port output IPTV and the other LAN port...

RBS only work as a wireless repeater and the LAN ports are unmanaged only. You can connect Orbi to other switches, even managed however all IGMP protocols on a managed switch needs to be disabled.

My idea was to have one LAN port output IPTV and the other LAN port internet (both using a different VLAN).
Is this possible? Or can only the router unit do this?
Thank you.
