RBR350 and satellite

Question

I've a&nbsp; glassfiber modem/router which is connected with a 1 Gb switch. The RBR350 has a wired connection with one of the switch ports. In another building I've installed a satellite (wireless) . I used one Ethernet port to connect with a NAS. Did also try to connect with a laptop (wired) in the&nbsp; satellite Ethernet port. Both have no connection with the RBR350 in the other (main) building. No Internet connection message.What should I do and how? How do I connect with a desktop/laptop with the RBR350 to look at (and change) this configuration?Thank you for your help!

The fiber needs to be connected directly to the router WAN (internet) port.
Then, the switch can be connected to one of the router LAN ports.

The wifi works&nbsp; so the RBR is connected properly.&nbsp; The wired connection is an issue.&nbsp; How do I login in the RBR350 by means of a desktop/laptop?

Yes, the wired connection is the issue.&nbsp; Satellites must appear to be connected to one of the LAN ports. The router will never detect a satellite which appears to be connected to the WAN port.&nbsp; The WiFi is 'working' because the router is getting an IP address from the ISP through the switch.
&nbsp;
If the switch is moved 'behind' the router, everything will work.
&nbsp;
There is no 'configuration' to change.
&nbsp;
However, if you really want to look at the router web administration, connect that laptop cirectly to one of the router LAN ports.

So the configuration is :&nbsp;Building 1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Building 2Glassfiber modem/router ---&gt; 1 Gb switch ---&gt; RBR350&nbsp; ------&gt; satellite ORBI ---&gt; Ethernet ---&gt; NASI do see on the ORBI staellite that the NAS is connected by wire.&nbsp;The Internet works in both buildings (wifi and wired) . On the&nbsp; USB/Ethernet device I see a 1 Gb connection enabled. However, The network in building 1 is not extended to building 2. Looks I need to enable protocols&nbsp; somehow and somewhere.

Do the lines literally represent the connection path?
i.e.
from the fiber Optical Network Termination (ONT) which appears to be a combination ONT/WiFi router
to the gigabit switch,
to the Orbi router.
&nbsp;
Then, how does the connection get from Orbi to Building 2?&nbsp; Does it

Go directly with an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the router to the satellite?
Go from a router LAN port to the gigabit switch?
The satellite is not connected directly to the Orbi router at all.&nbsp; It is connected to the gigabit switch.

Is the Orbi in router mode or Access Point (AP) mode?
