Orbi 7 Wired backhaul and Aruba 6100 Managed switch
Hi All,
I just received my brand new Orbi Wifi 7 Router and 3 satellites.
I set the satellites up first in wireless backhaul after updating to the latest firmware (v9.12.2.1) on all devices. Took some time to get all connected but after about 20 minutes the whole set was up & running but the I wanted to connect two of the satellites on a wired backhaul.
I use a Aruba 6100 switch and connected the router and the satellites (cat6) but they no matter what, they do not connect.
Tried almost đ everything but only a wireless connection works.
Is there anybody with a similar problem or maybe a solution?
Thanks for your wise words đ

That's a smart switch, aka, managed so no.
Any switch with characters after the ### in the model name is a smart/managed switch or having some form of management user interface with features that can be changed.
The MS105 of that series is non managed so could work. I don't have this model. My XS505M and GS110MX are non-managed switches and work. The GS110MX seem to be the only series with characters after the model number that's not a managed or smart switch.

You'll need to connect up a non managed switch in between the RBR and RBS. There is a known issue with managed switches causing problems with RBS ethernet connected on the 970 series system which NG is already aware of. No idea when that will be fixed. NG GS-105/108v4 and GS308v3, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems. XS505M and GS110MX work great with the 9 series. MS105(2.5Gb Non managed)
Hi , thx for the info.
So iI understand right that any unmanaged switch will work with the Oribi 970 serie?
Do you know if the Net Gear ProSafe MS510TX will work also?

- Would be really curious to hear about what you experienced with the Aruba managed switch, Iâve been troubleshooting a similar issue in the 960 series with netgear for a while now (have a session with engineering coming up).
I have the NG MS510TXM switches so slightly different but still managed. Iâve found that the APs work with wired backhaul, you just canât see them in the management interface at all, and they donât seem to sync settings properly. But if you get them syncâd up over the wireless backhaul and then plug them in, they do kind of work.
Itâs Interesting albeit disappointing to see the same behaviour still exists in the 970âs, that was my next hope to upgrade and resolve the issue. But hey guess itâs one more thing for engineering to look at as a common cause.Wired backhaul is broke if a managed switch is in the mix. I've tested this one as well with my NG108T switch. Horrible RBS behaviors are seen, WEB UI and Orbi app do not work right for the RBS. Nothing will connect to the RBS. Guest Network breaks as well.
NG is already aware of the issue. Hoping they will fix it soon.
Yep, all the same with mine.
Also the Webui and App are v e r y s l o w w or need to be restarted to see stuff.Come on NG, fix this soon please.
