WAN Connectivity and Ethernet Backhaul Issues with SXR80 / SXS80
I would like to report 2 issues I am facing with my SXR80 / SXS80’s. My setup: 1 SXR80 in AP mode 2 SXS80 Satellites Firmware 4.2.3.102 (latest at the time of this post) Single Wi-Fi network....
The SXS are connected to the back thru the switch. How will the switch prevent the packets to communicate, it does not? It's an unmanaged switch, it does nothing extra. It's not that it doesn;t work at all, it does connect as wired backhaul, but it is unpredictable.
I still don't see how the sqft of the house is relevant when figuring out ethernet backhaul problem, less the longevity issue. Whether I have a 4,000 sqft house or a 7,000 sqft house, the length of each CAT6 cable is less than 100 m. Please, educate me why the sqft is important to know.
Is there any debugging I can enable?
It's not about what you might think being better: You asked for assistance. Plug the system as per the intended design*. Chime back if the issue remains.
* Not my idea: I would deploy a PoE+ switch, VLAN capable, and add some WAX6xx AP instead of such an expensive Mesh system, so I could fully use the capabilities.
