Orbi 970 wired backhaul/switch setup
Hi After years of flaky connections, I’ve just swapped out a full home Ubiquiti PoE switch/AP system for a Orbi 970 3-Pack. So far so good, but having a few issues setting up wired backhaul...
Thank you.
I've seen this page (the 3rd illustration is closest to my setup) but it is a little misleading/incomplete - it doesn't show which device is connected to the primary ISP unit (Fios ONT/UGC Ultra in my case).
I guess the implication is the ISP unit is connected to the (vacant in the illustration) yellow internet port on the Orbi router, and not to one of the switch ports (as I have things set up presently)?
Yes and is implied and required for the RBR to connect to the up stream host router using it's yellow WAN port.
