New Netgear Orbi RBK852 Bugs
I purchased the new Netgear Orbi Wifi 6 router and satellite from my local Best Buy yesterday. The new router is starting to be released nationwide. It was so frustrating trying to get the route...
You should have first connected the RBS to the RBR while in the same room to confirm that it would connect there directly. Either wireless or wired. This would have confirmed the RBS worked or not. There may other factors that had contributed to the RBS not working.
Like any LAN switches or patch panels in between the RBR and the remote location to the RBS.
Bad cabling. Swapped out LAN cabling to test as well.
Things to be aware of next time. We see Ernest system is working. Leads me to this there may have been a misconfiguration with yours.
Good Luck.
Hi Furry,
Just as an FYI-- I can confirm and tell you the LAN connection fo the backhaul is not bad because of LAN cable or patch panel. The ethernet port is actually upstaris in my loft, and I use it for my NAS. I get top gigabit speed. I was going to put the satellite up there, and bring the NAS into the office, but no need for that since I don't have the RBK852 anymore ;-(
