Orbi 753 wired backhaul question how to
Possibly a noob question on best setup for my orbi with two satellites. Two story home has main internet coaxil in master bedroom closet. So modem connects there, orbi router connects to modem. so...
It's best to have the switch come first, then RBS lastly.
What is the mfr and model# of this switch? Some switchs can cause problems between RBR and RBS.
Do you have all the remote wired rooms going to one location? IF so, your wired configuration could look like this:
ISP Modem> Orbi AX RBR>Switch><Wired rooms to switch<>RBS connected to wall jack in remote room location.
You can do:
ISP Modem> Orbi AX RBR><Wired rooms to RBR>Swithch<>RBS connected to a switch in the remote room location.
ISP Modem upstairs connected to Orbi Router. Then all ethernet cables from wall plugged into Orbi Router. Downstairs i have the switch plugged in the ethernet outlet and then everything else including my Orbi Sateliite plugged into the switch. Good or No?
Or should i connect Orbi Satellite downstairs to wall. Then switch to the Orbi Satellite and then everything else to the switch?
Either way, however to better use the NG switch, I would put it behind the RBR and connect the RBS to the wall, then utilize the LAN ports on the back of the RBS for wired devices when needed.
- Oh ok thanks. Since I had this new Orbi 753, I am getting a double nat error on the xbox. Not sure if this is a relatable question to what im doing. I did not have this problem with the original Orbi though. Can anyone explain tbis
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?
