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...
When you connect BOTH RBS to the back of the RBR, have the RBRs web page open to the connected devices page. Check the connection status there. If the RBR and RBS and cables inbetween are working, then BOTH RBS connection rates will show wired.
What if they both show wired, but the connection is unstable for one of the RBS? how would I know that which is having problem? Since one unit will be stable everything will seem OK when it is not.
That was the exact problem when I connected both to LAN during the test. The difference is I can easily tell the unstable connection because I'm connected to the RBS closest to me.
