Wired backhaul though switch
I added a wired backhaul to my Orbi RBS850 and it will not show up as an attached device to the RBR850 but is showing connected with an IP address on my UDM Pro. My setup is: Verizon Fios -> UDM...
Thank you for all the responses within the community. A few details to answer:
-I have given each a set IP address in the UDM Pro with same result and tired that 1st
-I have the sat going through the switch due to my network placement of the incoming internet and where each AP (RBR & RBS) is placed
-The RBR has a 2.5 gig WAN port and the RBS does not
It sounds like the answer is because the RBR only has the 2.5 gig WAN port connected to the network switch and does not recognize the RBS even thought I see a blue light, devices are connected to it, and it shows a strong connection when I log into the RBS via IP address. Is there a way for the RBR to recognize the satellite without changing my current config due to placement?

Yes, the MS510TX supports VLANs. The port connecting the MS510TX to the satellite can be put in a VLAN with another port connecting the MS510TX to one of the Orbi router LAN ports.
If the Orbi router is not physically located next to the switch, then there are two solutions:
- Have a second Ethernet cable from the switch location to the Orbi router, or
- Put another VLAN switch next to the router so that the single Ethernet cable can carry two separate VLANs.
(One for the WAN port and one for the LAN port.)
Any progress on this?
