RBR750 ap mode wired backhaul, wan port=internet/no synced sats, lan port=no internet/synced sats
I'm stuck. I have a RBR750 and 2 RBS750 satellites. All are upgraded to firmware V7.2.6.31(_5.0.24). I did a reset on all devices and started out new. First I've set the RBR to AP mode and choose d...
Fixed it.đ
I went back to firmware V4.6.14.3_2.3.12, didnt even reset to factory, kept all settings and all problems disappeared.
Now i can connect to the RBR LAN port.
I'm able to ping the RBR perfectly
The RBR sees and syncs the satellites over wired backhaul over multiple switches.
The wireless clients get 500-600 Mbps internet everywhere in the house
Conclusion: the firmwares above V4.6.14.3_2.3.12 destroy AP mode.
IF the system had been working, what changed? FW updated recently? If so, I'd downgrade back to last working FW version or v.21. There are known issues with v.31 and can't recommend it. NG is aware of it.
Downgraded to v21
Set it to AP mode
And now I try to access it on its assigned ip.
When I connect the RBR using a LAN-port, and ping it, I get some succesful replies, but 75% timeouts. And the webinterface is very very slow. And wireless clients have no internet.
When I connect using the WAN-port, pings work and webinterface is fast. But now the RBR cant see the satellites.
Are all LAN ports broken? No, when I connect the RBR on WAN and plug a laptop in the RBR on LAN, i can ping 8.8.8.8 perfectly and fast.
What a mess...
After you downgraded the system back to v.21, did you factory reset both RBR and RBS and setup from scratch and setup the RBR and RBS in router mode? Then have the RBS wireless sync the RBR in router mode first, then directly connect them one at a time to the back of the RBRs LAN ports, one at a time. Should connect and shot GOOD and Wired status after a few minutes. Once that is done, then configure the RBR for AP mode using the static IP address configuration on the RBR.
If there is a LAN switch in the mix, brand and model# of this LAN switch please.
