Nighthawk MK83/MR80 Ethernet Backhaul

You can use a switch.
So if the're showing up with an ip address, how do they not sync? A litlte more detail on that might help.
what actual modem/gateway do you have?
Do the satellites work/sync if directly wired into the router (for testing)
I have that same question... The lights on the Satellites stay Red (not sync'd). the netgear nighthawk app on my phone shows them as wired and not sync'd, but the GUI just shows them as wired in the attached device list.
I can connect any other device to any of the ether connections in my house and they work just fine. I tested the continutiy of the cables, just to be sure, and they were fine. But I still have the same issue with the MR80 and MS80.
Here's my setup: ArrisT25(CableModem)-->MR80(router)-->Netgear GS205(Swx)-->MS80(satellite)
the problem has nothing to do with the cable modem or internet service - its between the MR80 router and the MS80 satellite.
