What is the brand and model# of the switch between the RBR and RBS?
FYI, some managed switchs won't work. Some can if you disable IGMP protocols and any Green Ethernet features on these managed switches.

Recommend CAT6 UTP lan cabling as well.

satellite with direct wired to router works fine,
but when i move satellite to another room (wired connection via switch), router can't find the satellite.
how can i solve it?
