AX6000/RBK852 Wired Backhaul mode - Guest Network - No internet when connected through the satellite
I just bought a AX6000/RBK852 (RBK850/RBS850) with the lattest firwmare V3.2.16.6. I have a lan cable connected between my main and the satellite (wired backhaul mode). I have a guest network too. W...
I finally updated to v3.2.17.12.
After a reboot (exactly 2 reboot of the RBR as for some reason there was no internet connection during the first reboot and one reboot of the RBS), guest network is working correctly with the satellite in Wired Backhaul mode.
I did not need to do factory reset / reload my configuration.
Finally Netgear was able after 6 months to fix this basic function.
I wrote to the support desk to tell them the issue was solved.
FURRYe38 thanks for your help during these 6 months...
I have the exact same setup and problem as OP philouu. Latest firmware on router and satellites, wired Backhaul, router mode. I don’t think anyone has answered OP question.
- The issue is that guest network works if connected to main router but not wired satellites.
I'm answering this now from guest network attached to wired satellite. Works for me if a/you use the generic suggested guest network name or b/you use a network name in the form xxx-Guest where xxx is your regular network name
- I tried the same as well. xxx-Guest. I can sign on to guest network but have no internet connection when using satellites.
Main network works perfectly on router and wired satellites. Don’t understand why guest network does not work.
Guest network is working for me and one other using v6 FW. RBS are wired, mine is using switches in between the RBR and RBS.
Is your RBS directly wired to the RBR or are there switche(s)in between? If so, what is the mfr and model# of these switch(s)?
Remove the switch(s) and directly connect the RBS to the RBR and test GN again.
