RBRE960 1GB Ports Power Cycling?

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.

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.
Not sure this will help, but I run my Orbi in AP Mode and if I plug any of the 3 LAN 1GB LAN ports on the back of the Orbi into a switch it just power cycles over and over and never holds a consistent connection.
