wired backhaul setup for orbi 753
Hello! I have a question for you: i want to replace my old network setup with a mesh system from netgear ( orbi rbk 753). Basically i want to change the current router with Orbi router and then via ...
Yes you can use a switch in between the RBR and RBS.
NON Managed switch is recommended. NG GS-105/108v4 and GS308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
I have the
TP-LINK TL-SG1016
Check it out and see if it works. Seen some non managed switches with Green Ethernet features cause problems with Orbi systems. Hopefully this will work though.
well i can't just check it out because i'm currentlly digging the forum to find out answers BEFORE i buy the Orbi 🙂
I have a big house with 2 storeys and want to form a new mesh network with the 2 sattelites wired far away from the router.
But thanks for the answer!
I'm running managed switches without issues. I'm not doing anything fancy with it and use it more as a learning experience.
But looking at that switch, it basically an unmanaged rackmount switch. Should be fine.
