RBRE960 Extra Satellite shows up when using wired backhaul both in web app and Orbi app
Hi, I just installed my brand-new RBRE 960 Orbi And two satellites. They are working fine but both in the web app and in the Orby app I am seeing an extra satellite with a different IP address and a...
I tried Netgear gigabit Five port switch I have. And the Issue went away. So the trend net switch is the issue. Thanks for all your help. It’s too bad because I wanted to use the 2.5 Gb switch for the bandwidth because I will be getting a 2 Gb connection to the Internet very soon. I will have to find another solution for a switch. Again thank you for your help.
No it is a straight unmanaged switch. The managed versions get very expensive as I was looking at them the next version of the switch which has management software is almost $250 more. And Netgear routers are two $250-$300 more. I honestly wish that they would’ve put 2 2.5 GHz ports on the back of the router on this Orbi so that you could run to backhauls to two satellites without any extra hub but that probably would’ve driven the cost even higher.
Just came across this thread, and thought I'd chime in. Glad you sorted it out to being your switch. FWIW, I have been using a Zyxel 2.5G unmanaged switch that I found on Amazon (model is MG-105). I have this connected to my RBRE960 setup for wired backhaul, and it works just fine.
