RBR760 / RBR760 Wired Backhaul

Hi,

I have the RBR760 Orbi router and two RBS760 Orbi satellites.  Unlike my last Orbi system, these satellties only have two ethernet ports.  I'm trying to set up wired backhaul with little success.  Is it possible on these satellites, and what needs to be done to accomplish the task.  The user manual was of little assistance.

 

Thanks

     I just connected that satellite to the gigabit switch a week ago and the RBR750 recognized it immediately as a wired connection and has been stable ever since. 

     

     

    so it is or isn't stable? 

    I'm confused now.

    Are you running through a switch? 

    OR how do you have them wired in? 

    It usually switches over to hardwired pretty quickly. (within 5 minutes) if wired properly. 

    Mine does. (got one hooked up now testing)

     

    What firmware are you on?

    did you check through the browser? The app doesn't always display correctly
