Wired Backhual Installation Problem
Hi Community,
Started my installation today and hit a problem. I should first highlight that I've got a fairly long and old property that is actually split in two. In the past I've used a combi...
Heres how I got a friends wired back haul working:
Any managed switches in the mixed? if so, Mfr and model#? NON managed switch work best with Orbi systems. Something about Managed and Orbi don't get along.
Be sure to disable Daisy Chaing on the router.
Nothing else in the mix. Replaced my BTHomeHub with the Orbi Router is all.
With regards to daisy chaining: a) where is the option to enable/disable, can't find it while scanning around, b) I originally thought I wanted the daisy chaining as my propery is long, with the router starting at one end.
Thought I was on the latest firmware, but reading your thread I'll have a go on .16. Nothing to lose as it doesn't work currently.
Look under Advanced tab, Advanced settings/Wireless settings.
You can give daisy chain a try however I don't know if it it's needed for wired back haul satellites. May only work with wireless satellites piggy backing off each other in a line. You can try it and see how it goes.
It does appear that the latest firmware with Daisy Chain disabled has sorted some of the weirdness, which implies wired and daisy aren't playing nicely with one another.
This may be an issue going forward as I suspect I'll need a 3rd satallite daisy chained over wireless to the 2nd wired one to give me the full coverage I'll eventually need.
