Wired backhaul setup - device chain
Hi all,
Yesterday I got finally my Orbi system and installed it immediatly. Now I'm trying to establish an wired backaul and I'm not clear about the exact setup.
My Setup: My house has an...
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I do not understand what you mean with Mft but this my setup:
Maybe I also explained it a bit wrong. It is not only a Cable modem it is also a router (inkl. Wlan).
(Cable 500Mb/50Mb)
UPC Connect Box CH7465LG-LC (Router ISP) --> TRN TEG-S16D (Swich unmanaged) --> Orbi System (RBR50 Orbi Router + 2 Satelites)
The router of the ISP provider and the switch are in the cellar.
QUESTIOn 1 again: Do i need to connect the RBR50 to the yellow internet port or to one of the other ports?
According to https://kb.netgear.com/000051205/What-is-Ethernet-backhaul-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System
Especially the third option i see (switch --> Orbi System (router + satelites) exactly how I did it or do I read this wrong?
Your advice Cable Modem -> Orbi system (1 router) -> Switch -><- Satellites and All other Network devices connected to switch
This would mean i would have the RBR50 Orbi router in the celler, where i do not need it. I want to have it in the flors where it is usefull.

Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
The configuration I mentioned is preferred, however if your using a router already, then use the Orbi in AP mode. Yes you can use the Orbi in AP mode behind the switch in your configuration.
You can conenct the Orbi router using the Yellow LAN port to the swithc port. You can use the other LAN ports on the Orbi as well, however be aware you may see the top led on the Orbi turn on PINK. It's ok, just letting you know the LED behavior depends on use of the Yellow WAN port.
