Hi, have installed Orbi RBK853 Router and 2 satilites to the house today and connected various devices. I also have a home office someway from the house connected by a optical fibre cable via a tp-link Gigabit multimode media converter at each end. I connected the tp link converter to the Orbi router and i seems to disrupt the router to point the wifi connection drops out and make it hard to re connect. I have now connected the tp link to the Service Providers modem/router and the issue seems to be resolved. I was hoping to connect another Orbi RBK853 or alike to the office via the fibre cable but unsure if will now work. Appreciate any advice.
