AX4200 Wired Backhaul Peculiarities
My issue does not concern performance, but instead management/administration of the routers/satellites. Background: I have used the Orbi ac3000 system (1 RBR50 + 1 RBS50) in a wired backhaul arrangeme...
Yes it's one of Orbi's "peculiarities" that I've learned to deal with and seems to be how NG has designed them.
The illustrations for the link is correct for connecting the RBS to the back of the RBR. The Internet port on the RBR is only used for it's main connection to the main host router in AP mode or an ISP modem when in router mode.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Are the RBS directly wired to the back of the RBR or connected thru a LAN switch? If so, What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?

NG is recommending currently to use CTS 64 on the Orbi AX system.
Also, I can connect directly to the satellite via a browser and its Internet Address. When I do that, I see a reliable list (I think) of all its attached devices.
