Orbi 960 - How to determine wired backhaul speed
Hello! I I have a wired network with both Gigabit and 2.5Gbe ports... and I think I have my Orbi sats on the 2.5Gbe ports... but would like to verify what speed they are connected at. Is there a way ...
Ya that's the only check on the RBR to see the connection rate between the RBR and RBS.
Can connect a non managed multi gig LAN switch in between to visually see the link rate. XS505M and GS110MX work great with the 9 series.
Interesting - maybe I am staring at that connection rate info, but I don't see it - where would I find that on the router web page?

Thanks FURRYe38 - so this is what I have, I assume the backhaul is "LAN"? Do I have this set up wrong? Seems I may have the RBSs wired backhaul on the 1 GB port? Is a change advised?
EDIT: Never mind - I see it at the bottom! Doh!
For 7 and 8 series, which ever LAN port you have a RBS connected too will show the ethernet connected rate. Mostly 1000Mpbs. For 9 series, the BH rate could be 1000Mpbs if connected to a 1Gb port or since the RBR has a 2.5Gb LAN port now on both RBR and RBS, that will show 2500Mpbs. WLAN is the wireless connection rate seen between the RBR and RBS when the RBS is wirelessly connected to the RBR, not ethernet connected. Not sure of the WLAN will show dynamic rate or expected rate as the wireless BH can be reduced by distance and building materials.
