want to connect satellites by wire (wifi connection not possible)

RBK753 — Système Orbi WiFi 6 AX4200

 

Hello,

 

Got in replacement of my RBK50 the RBK 753 Wifi6. 

My old system was wired and everything was fine. 

While replacing the system, I wanted yo connect the sattelites by cable but it doesn't work.

 

The sattelites want to connect by Wifi on the main Orbi router, wich isn't possible.

 

i tried everything and can't find the solution

 

What should I do.

 

Thank's in advance

    You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)

    Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

    Orbi - NETGEAR Communities

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
