RBS connecting to RBR at only 100 mbps over long Cat5e run
I removed two switches from in between an RBR850 and a RBS850 (wired backhaul) to solve a Guest network problem where the Guest network would not broadcast over the RBS850. I found that removing the...
Thanks Fury. The Cat5e works fine between two gigibit switches, so it appears to be the RBR and RBS having a problem with it. But I solved the problem with your input from the other post. With a GS108 switch on each end, and the RBR and RBS connected to the switches, they connect up properly and the Guest network functions as designed. Luckily I had an extra GS108 to try. It was the GS724Tv4 24-port managed switch that was causing the problem, even though I had previously disabled all IGMP protocols and green features.

I would presume the length maybe too long and the switches are helping out by amping some signal. Having just the long wire in between the RBR and RBS the singal may not be good enough and signal is dropping with out the switches.
Glad the 108s helped.
