AX4200 with 3 satellites hard wired

Google AI is telling me that a backhaul status of Good is not correct for a wired connection.
It is wrong. "Good" is what I see on my own wired backhauls (both on RBR50 and an RBE871).
FWIW, backhaul problems generally don't result in dropping client wifi connections. Instead the wifi connections remain strong, but the clients connected to the satellites can't reach the internet.
Is there any pattern to the connection drops? For instance, it is happening when you move a device to a different room? Are clients in a particular area of the house dropping more often?
Also, I am wondering if the issue is actually the ethernet connection between the ONT and the RBR750. Have you tried a different cable on that connection?
Yes you can connect the RBS to the back of the LAN switch and then connect the LAN switch to the back of the RBR.
While you can do this, the overall backhaul throughput does decrease. If you directly connect both RBS directly to RBR, both satellites get full duplex 1 gbps throughput. With only one RBR connection to a switch, that is cut in half. If you have a lot of network traffic going through two satellites at the same time, that could reduce your performance some. (This would come into play only if you have a lot of local network traffic - for instance clients connected to a NAS).
