Router/Satellite 770 issue - MLO Backhaul?
Current setup: Router is in the main area of the house with the modem and coax line (xfinity). The Satellite goes through 1 wall and up one floor of a house to my room. From the satellite, 1 ethernet...
Eventually it will fix itself but this started about 2 days and so far nothing fix it; NOT even the latest firmware update. So far I think it's the satellite having an issue with the MLO backhaul system but not sure.
If other devices are connecting to the internet through the satellite, then it is not the backhaul.
Have you tried a different ethernet cable? Also, try a different port on the satellite.
What model PC are you using? Also, does it have a built-in ethernet port? If not, what adapter are you using?
I have a custom Desktop computer.

Based on that, I have swap ethernet ports with the computer and Satellite and yields that same result. While there is no status indicators on the satellite to figure out how much speed going through the ethernet, but checking on the motherboard, the speed is working at 2.5 gbps on a Cat 5e cord.
I haven't swapped the ethernet cord, I guess that is something I can try ...I have a custom Desktop computer.
Do you have any other device you can connect through the satellite?
When the problem starts, can you ping the satellite from a device connected to another mesh element?
The other device that is connected to the satellite is my cell phone. Every time when I notice the internet problem for the computer, my phone works completely fine.
