Orbi RBK853 Second Satellite unable to work using ethernet backhaul
I am now using ethernet wired connection only for one Satellite because I can never get the other satellite to work. Setup would have been star topology (if it works). Firmware: V3.2.16.6_1.4.4...

So if the problem didn't follow with the RBS, then I would presume there is a problem i the cabling or these "data points"...

The data points work because when I plug the LAN directly to the laptop I get super fast connection (800mbps). Also do note that when I plugged in the Satellite, I first get blue light (which means it received data?) but after that somehow it just won't connect to the internet.
Do you think it is the 'daisy chain' setting that could solve this issue? This setting is not in AX though

Try turning OFF the other RBS. Then turn ON the one RBS that doesn't seem to work. See if this changes anything. If not, then there is an issue at this data point area.

OK just to make sure that I do it correctly, this is what I will do
1. Turn off Satellite A (which is already connected to LAN)
2. Turn off Satellite B (the 'problem unit') and plug in LAN
3. Turn on Satellite B
Is that correct?
P/S: as mentioned earlier the data point connecting to Satellite B is working because when I plug in the LAN to my laptop I can get the internet

Yes Then also try B satellite at A satellites position as well. Does B satellite work at A satellites position?
