RBS850 wired backhaul questions
OK, I found I have a gigabit connection into an room where I have a satellite RBS850. So I have a few questions before moving it from wireless to wired backhaul, that I couldn't find in any of the in...
You got it.
Check the RBRs web page. The status for the one RBS should be wired after that.
Thanks FURRYe38 . So in my setup, applying what you said - my RBR and switch are in the basement. The RBS to be using wired backhaul is on the 3rd floor.
So my steps:
1) Connect switch into the back of the RBS in basement, ensure it's working and the outlet by the RBS on the third floor is working thru the ethernet switch (I'll test it with my Mac);
2) Ensure RBS on 3rd floor and RBR are in sync wirelessly, "Good" status;
3) Connect the RBS on the third floor to the gigabit ethernet outlet nearby.
Wait 4-5 minutes or so, as the RBR and RBS get synced I should see the backhaul status change to "wired" in the device list at orbilogin.net.
Is that correct?
