One satellite not relaying guest wifi network (RBR850/RBS850)
Hi I have a RBR850 orbi router, with two RBS850 satellites connected via a wired connection One of the satellites has stopped transmitting the guest wifi network, the other satellite and main...
Definitely something with the switch. I managed to directly connect the satellites to the router and everything magickly works. Is this an oddity with this switch or has anyone seen similar behaviour on other switches?
Many thanks for your help - I'll do that
Just had a thought - the satellites are connected via a Netgear GS724T switch. Is there anything strange about the GN traffic (e.g. VLAN ID's) that it might be filtering out is there?
Ah ha, Yes, this is good to know. This is a managed switch. Can you access it's web page and ensure that ALL IGMP protocol features are disabled on the switch? Also check to see if you can disable any Green Ethernet features as well. Some switches you can enable or disable this feature, though I'm not seeing this listed...
What Rev # is the switch? V#?

I can confirm
- It's a v3 swtich (boot version B5.1.1.1 and software version 5.4.2.25)
- All Green ethernet config's are disabled
Where can I see the IGMP protocol features? I can't immediately find them

I suppose I very much deserved a RTFM response :smileyvery-happy:
I've gone through that and compared with switch - all of the IGMP stuff is all disabled/empty
Possible something else with this model switch that could be causing problems. You might try NGs GS 1 series. These are working for me. GS105/108. Also GS 308v4 is working for me as well.

Something with the switch. The GS7 series is a managed switch.
Try a GS10x series switch and see.
