MS305 MS308 and Orbi 770 Odd Behavior
Hello, I have an Orbi 770 2 pack running on wired backhaul. The router connects to an MS305 connecting to the satellite as well as other network ports in the house. This has been stable and has run...
Are you daisy chaining the MS switches behind the RBR?
So the MS305 worked ok with the RBS connected to it, but the MS308 is causing this problem?
Tried using the MS308 in place of the MS305?
What CAT# LAN cable are you using? CAT6A STP is recommended.
I’m using CAT 6. The original MS105 is connected to a port on the router and a port on the satellite. The MS308 was connected to another port on the router. The MS105 was connected to another port on the satellite.
Cat 6a is overkill in a residential situation, particularly since the switches causing the problem are connected with 5ft patch cables.

Try the MS308 switch by itself in place of the MS105.
What FW is loaded on the system?
CAT6A STP is very common and recommended in home settings. Especially with higher speeds. Been using STP since installed back in 2012. Avoids some odd issue with interferences. Been solid with my Orbi systems and 10Gb switches.
