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.

Any device I connect to these three ports will constantly connect and disconnect.
Can you please describe more about this phenomenon?
- What sort of message does the device provide? ("no internet"?)
- What does "constantly" mean? every hour? every day? every minute?
In Access Point (AP) mode, the upstream router assigns IP addresses to every device on the network.
- The RBRE960 router
- Both RBSE960 satellites
- Every other device that connects to the system (wired or WiFi)
Do you have a way to communicate with devices on the local LAN?
(such as a computer or smartphone app that can 'ping' devices by IP address)
