v2.1.3.4
My Orbi autoupgraded to v.2.1.3.4 this morning and I found tht ethernet backhaul no longer works. Is this expected behavior? Anyone else seeing this?
Factory reset router and satellites. I wasn't able to reload the old config as it would make the router disappear from the wired side (e.g. it's old static IP wasn't reachable). So treated it like a new install. Got all satellites sync'd but one wouldn't use wired backhaul - only 5Ghz. So now trubleshooting that.
OK, swap satellites around to see if the problem tracks or not..
I'll give that a try.
Question: Does the LAN port on the back of the router and/or satellite matter for wired backhaul? Out of habit I always put the connection to my switch (what I want to be the backhaul) in the LAN port closest to the power plug.No doesn't matter. Switch will route the traffic the same way on any LAN port.
I can't move the sat now but I did notice that two identical (hardware) satellites have different interfaces:
Wired Backhaul working:
