Orbi Router can't see the satelite when connected via Cat6
My setup looks like below:
5GRouter <-----------------Cat6---------------> Orbi Router <---------------Cat6---------------------->Orbi Satellite
For some reason the application or the web shows the Orbi Router can not see the satellite.
If I connect it via WiFi all is working fine.
5GRouter <-----------------Cat6---------------> Orbi Router < - - - - - WiFi - - - - - > Orbi Satellite
Is there any reason why this do not want to work? Do I need to configure something it it goes via the cable?

Is the RBS connected directly behind the RBR or is there a LAN switch or LAN patch panel in between them?
Try a different LAN cable between the RBR and RBS. Maybe a faulty cable.
What FW version is loaded on the RBS and RBR?
I have got:
RBR850
FW: 7.2.6.31RBS850
FW: 7.2.6.21
When connected via Cat6 the Satellite can't be found.
I believe the FW should be equal. So I need to update RBS. Is there any trap during the process?
What about the update order. The RBR has got the latest FW already but the RBS is behind.Does it make any difference if I update just RBS to v.7.2.6.31 ?
Hello Donvito7 ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
Your RBR850 and your RBS850 should be on the same firmware. In this case you may need to manually upgrade your RBS850 to FW version 7.2.6.31.
Please navigate to the link below for the RBS850 firmware 7.2.6.31 download link:
