Orbi RBK850 in AP mode can't connect to satellite
Hi, seems that my problem is not new but I was not able to find a working solution: I'm running a Orbi RBK850 together with two RBS850 in my home network. I've done first the setup of the whole syste...
Hi,
the problem is solved đ
A simple cause had a big effect - I could see in the pfsense fw logs that outbound icmp was blocked - seems that the RBK is pinging to some cloud front systems regularly to see whether it has an internet connection. After enabling it it worked like a charm, the gui shows internet connection & I was able to sync both satellites.
Now I only have one small (not really urgent) problem left & that is that I'm getting (only on the RBK) a http 500 when connecting to the WebGUI via DNS name in the URL - using the ip address instead is working. But for this I will open another thread.
Thank You very much for Your help, really appreciated đ
Hi, the ISP device is a Fritzbox 7490. The RBK is connected via LAN port to a switch -> Fritzbox. Connecting the RBK via WAN port was not working and causing a flickering WAN connection. The RASPI is connected via the mentioned switch.
Regarding the satellite connection I tried the ethernet backhaul via direct connection to a LAN port on my RBK, but Iâd really prefer to have a wireless backhaul.
The RBR in AP mode has to be connected to the host router using it's WAN port while in AP mode.
What is the brand and model of the switch being used?
