Why can't Orbi RBK852 Handle wired backhaul properly?
I have been struggling with this issue for ages now.. My RBK852 system really struggles with handling wired backhaul. I have 2 satellites connected to the RBR850 one wired and the other wireless ...
How are the RBS connected to the RBR? Directly to the back of the RBR or is there a LAN switch in between? If so, What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
That behavior may indicate a bad RBS, bad LAN cable, incorrect connection configuration, or incorrect FW version on the RBS.
Something I've not seen with mine...

Many thanks, no it’s a direct connection via Ethernet cable, no switch involved. Will try a different cable just to check..
👍
Also swap RBS around as well...
Thanks I think it's the cable causing issues... changed the cable and all seems good for now👍
Glad that was all. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
