Ethernet Backhaul Fair Status

I’m connecting SXR80 with SXS80 satellite through Ethernet backhaul. But the Mesh Link Status shows Fair. How is that possible? Am I missing any settings? Thank you, Joao

The solution for me was to factory reset my Satellite, since I had replaced my router recently.

Thank you for all the help.

Thank you, I thought it was weird were I was posting. First I can't find my exact model SXR80 - Orbi Pro. Not even in the link you sent, so It always feels like I'm posting in the wrong spot! :-(

I assume my message will get moved to the right place?

Thank you,

Joao.

Where did you look?

Orbi Pro SXR80 | WiFi 6 System | NETGEAR Support

and

Orbi Pro - WiFi for Small Business - NETGEAR Communities

I just ran searches on SXR80.

Sorry, what I meant is I can't find my router when creating a new discussion in this forum.

Look at the screenshots please.

Thank you,

     I've never touched one of those, so I know nothing, but...
  
     Is the satellite actually using the Ethernet backhaul, or is it
  ignoring your cable?
  
     Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
  for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
  "backhaul" and/or "Change the WAN port speed".
  
     I gather that "an Ethernet backhaul connection" could be arranged
  with either 1Gb/s or 2.5Gb/s speed. Perhaps 1Gb/s (or less?) is
  classified as "Fair"?
  
  > Am I missing any settings?
  
     Perhaps. Or perhaps your cable is defective or inadequate.
  
     Does the router's management web site offer any information on its
  Ethernet ports? Perhaps some kind of "Show Statistics" control on its
  ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home page?
  
     But what do I know?
