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.
Earlier I already tried connecting the RBR WAN port to the Internetrouter with a direct cable. Didnt help.
The problem is more basic:
If I connect a laptop to a RBR LAN port, i can ping the RBR perfectly
If I connect a laptop to a switch and that switch to a RBR LAN port, pinging the RBR gives 75% time-outs

Last time I had my 750 series online with RBS had tested AP mode with RBS ethernet connected. All worked. That was on v.21. I'll check my 750 series again while in AP Mode and see whats happening. I see I updated my system back on 4/25 to v.31. Will test AP Mode first and see what I find out.
If you test with any 7.2 version, try:
laptop - LAN PORT RBR750 and then ping RBR -t (this will work)
laptop - switch - LAN PORT RBR750 and then ping RBR -t (this willl give lots of timeouts)
So go my RBK752 system up and running.
First off was RBR in router mode to make sure RBS wireless and ethernet connected to the RBR.
HP 1400 series non managed switch used in between.
Then configured AP mode and use a RAX80 for host router.
Left RBS ethernet connected to switch and switch connected to RBR after applying AP mode configuration:
Gave several minutes for everything to settle in. 192.168.1.75 IP static IP address used on RBR for AP mode:

Ping results with same ethernet connected PC behind the HP LAN switch connected behind the RBR:
