Switch > Orbi Router AND satellite problems
Hi Please see attached screenshot of my current setup. Using Orbi 850's Note that the upstairs switch is basically unused. I am using the wireless backhaul to connect my Satellite to the Orbi...
The switch should come after the Orbi router, not between the ISP device and the router:
That’s not doable I think. The isp device is in a little cubbyhole in a wall. It then shoots off wiring to Ethernet sockets in every room. Those sockets are what I’m using for the Orbi’s. The Orbi wouldn’t even fit in the cubbyhole - let alone it being a bad place for Wi-Fi.
The second floor also has the little cubbyhole with the upstairs switch in it which shoots off to a socket in every room

Is there a LAN cable patch panel in between the ISP modem and cabling that goes to the room sockets?
The only way RBS work correctly when ethernet connectes is they have to be connected directly behind the RBR, even with a switch in between them. As seen in the link I provided and in the picture that was posted.
