Wired Backhaul Problems with RBR50/RBS50
Hi, I'm at wits end. To support some virtual schooling, I reconfigured our orbi setup. RBR50 is in AP mode. 2 Satellites. Because the one satellite is in an addition, behind a brick wall, I wanted t...
If CAT5, or possible bad cable could cause some problems if not working well.
What is the Mfr and model # of this switch?
Try this, turn OFF the one wireless RBS and leave the wired RBS connected. Does the problem still happen?
Is the RBS directly connected to the RBR or is there a ethernet switch in between?
IF there is a switch what is the Mfr and model # of this switch?
What catgory LAN cable are you using? CAT6 is minimum recommended.
