RBR850 and issue with combinated wifi/wired backhaul
Hi all, Just installed a new 850 kit w/1 * RBR850 and 2 * RBS 850's. RBR are connected to the Cisco Gb switch RBS #1 are connected to the Cisco Gb switch RBS #2 are with wireless only place...
1. the RBS have their own internal algorithm that determines which to connect to. Because going through a satellite might add latency and slow a satellite down a little bit, even though its further, the RBS might be connecting to the RBR. I don't know what their internal algorithm is. I just know sometimes they connect it unexpected ways
2. you can daisy chain the satellites how you pictured.
Hi plemans,
Thank you for your quick reply.
Are you saying that we CAN expect issues where RBS #2 only connects wirelessly to RBS #1?
Our testing last night was working, suddenly stopped for a while, then re-connected.

Tough to know. It can switch between the 2 as needed based on its own algorithm.
It might work perfectly fine.
Thanks again 🙂
Already we have had issues.
Disconnected the RBS #2 now and will try to use only RBS #1 from the floor above.
If that become stable, my 'kind-of' conclusion will be that we should use a cable from RBS #1 -> RBS #2.
I'll keep you updated!
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
