RBR960 - Satellites showing up twice (wired and wireless)
I've got my wired backhaul setup w/ two satellites plugged in via a 2.5G unmanaged switch (Trendnet TEG-S350).
I've got RBR960 w/ two RBSE960 satellites. Firmware V6.0.3.85_3.1.15.
The sa...
Yeah, they've previously synced and worked fine. It also works fine with the satellites plugged in via the 1g ports, but obviously at reduced bandwidth
The switch is as pictured.
All the wiring is cat 6a and can hold a 10g connection fine with other equipment.

Each of the MAC addresses are different.
How many RBS do you have?
What is the brand and model# of the switch in between the RBR and RBS?
What browser are you using? Try MS Edge or FireFox or Opera?
I have one router (RBR) and two sattelites (RBS). The MAC addresses are different since they're different network interfaces (wireless vs wired), that's normal right? You can match them up since they're only 2 apart numerically on the same device.
I mentioned it in the first post, but the switch is Trendnet TEG-S350.
I fail to understand how browser could matter here, but I've gone and tried a few and the orbi web UI shows the same information.
That's right, sorry about that. My bad. Let me take a look at that switch.
Possible could be a switch issue that's not handling the data right.
Do you happen to have a different switch that you can test with temporarily to see if there is any changes?
I have mine connected however on a 1Gg line using NG GS108/105 currently. Both showed each on a wired line. No duplicates.
It does seem to work fine with a 1GB switch that I have instead of the 2.5GB Trendnet TEG-S350.
I also found this post, which seems to detail the same issue: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-WiFi-6-AX-and-WiFi-6E-AXE/RBRE960-Extra-Satellite-shows-up-when-using-wired-backhaul-both/m-p/2209917
Is there any information on how the Orbi devices find eachother? It's pretty strange to me that it's this sensitive to individual unmanaged switch models. I can try to talk to TRENDnet support but it's going to be pretty hard unless i know how this process works.
