RBRE960 1GB Ports Power Cycling?
Hey all, just set up the RBRE960 router and two RBSE960 satellites. Initial stability was a little touch and go, but it seems to have calmed down and now it's pretty stable. I have my Orbi set up i...
Well, I was finally able to test this again. Disconnected all cables and then connected the Orbi 1GB router ports to my Netgear GS108v4 unmanaged switch. Tried all Orbi 1GB router ports and all 8 unmanaged switch ports, and I cannot duplicate the strange behavior from before. Now the two devices connect at 1GB speed and stay connected with the activity lights blinking constantly as expected. Not sure why it's different now, but I'm glad that it's now acting the way it's supposed to. Thank you for testing this setup, that took some effort and it's much appreciated.
Ah no, no LAN ports should be seeing problems or disconnects.
What devices do you have connected to the 1Gb LAN ports?
What is the brand and model# of the host router the RBR is connected too on it's 10Gb WAN port in AP mode?
Did you configure Dynamic or Static IP addressing for AP mode? I prefer Static IP address.
What CAT# lan cable are you using between the RBR and wired devices? CAT6 UTP is recommended on the 1Gb ports, CAT6A STP for the 2.5 port and 10Gb WAN port.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
