Orbi6 AX6000 - Not connecting as a star network - both satellites hard wired back haul
I have an Orbi WiFi 6 Router AX6000 system. Both satellites are hardwired backhaul to the RBR850. For some reason - they are no longer set-up in a Star Network and now one of the satellites ...
There we go.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
Yes - thanks - both satellites are hardwired back into the RBR850. I find it strange that now one of the satellites (although both being hardwored back into the RBR850) show going through the other satellite. It always was set-up as a Star network.
Thanks in advance for your help!
This is from the RBR850This is from the Orbi6 App

If you click on "choose file" and attach them individually, we can see them right away.
How are the RBS connected to the RBR via ethernet? Directly behind the RBR or is there a LAN swtich in between?
Is the farther RBS ethernet connected to the nearest RBS on it's LAN port?
Might just be how the app is displaying it since the GUI is showing wired and since the app is showing the solid line, its showing at wired.
Should show star formation when for ethernet if the RBS are each connected to the RBR. I presume if one RBS is ethernet connected to the other RBS, then ya, will now in a line.
