Re: RBR50 Satellite disconnects from router when using Ethernet port
I know this is an old thread, but I have exactly the same problem, i.e. I have sky q with one mini box and am trying to use a powerline adapter to connect to both the main sky q box and the sky q min...
Thank you for getting back to me. I do not have a ISP routr connected to the Orbi, rather I have an ONT connected directly to the Orbi, which is acting as router. So there are no antennas to disable. Cables are all CAT 6A and all brand new.
The configuration I have is Orbi router to TP link powerline to ethernet port downstairs and TP link powerline to satellite to ethernet port upstairs. I do not see why this is confusing the satellite and router, especially since it worked fine for a few days.
Possible some with with in the TP-Link adapters are causing problems. If the RBS works find directly connected to the RBR, then this points to the TP-Link adpaters not providing good services in between the RBR and RBS. There is some specific data flow that happens in between the RBR and RBS when ethernet connected. If this is blocked, then the RBS can not work right. You might try some NETGEAR branded power line adapters to see if this may help.
Possible some power line interferences in between the RBR and the in wall power as well. Could be something you have plugged in to the power on a wall out let that maybe causing noise on the line.
Try the RBS wirelessly connected to the RBR if it will connect OK.
