Problems with Connecting Satellite to Master
Hi,
I have one RBR850 AX6000 and two RBS850 AX6000.
Until some weeks ago one of the both Satellites was connected via Ethernet because the Satellite is at a space with very poor reception from the Master. The connection did go lost some weeks ago, and I am not able to re-establish it.
The Firmware Version is V4.6.14.3_2.3.12 on Satellites and Master.
When the Master is close to the Satellite, they connect via 5Ghz. Via Ethernet they did not connect like before. The Ethernetconnection itself seems working, because I attached on the ORBI Satellite some other Devices and this device can be reached, what is only possible when the Ethernet Connection it self via the ORBI Satellite is working and the ORBI Satellite work as Switch.
But the Satellite never sync with the Master. I already try a firmware reset and complete re-setup. Again, it connect via 5 Ghz, but not via Ethernet.
Any ideas?

After some more testing, I come to the conclusion - because nothing changes - that an automatic firmware update caused maybe the problem.
I did downgrade on the Satellites and the Master two versions down to V4.6.8.5_2.1.9.
Now the wired connection is working again.
FrankNext time try a factory reset and setup from scratch after loading new FW. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200
I just had my RBK853 system online for over 5+ days with no issues between the RBS and RBR:
RBS working fine over ethernet as well.
Hi terra_orbi ,
For Satellite never sync with the Master, do you mean satellite can't connect to Master ?
Can you give us more detail about this ?
Thank you very much !
