Orbi Routers behind switch (AP Mode)

Orbi Satellite (AP Mode)
Where my internet cable is in, I don't need internet. So I have placed a switch at the router and pulled a cable from there to the orbi router and satellite. If I connect the orbi router to the WAN port, the backhaul with the satellite does not work. If I connect the orbi router and the satellite to the switch with a LAN port, the backhault will work. And the internet is very good. If I look in the gui of the orbi router and then search for updates, I get an error router and satellite not connected to the internet.
can anyone tell me how to fix this ?

Just to be sure, you did switch your orbi from router mode to AP mode (webinterface, advanced --> advanced --> router/ AP mode)?
