RBK 50 wired backhaul

the color is indicating a poor connection.

powerline isn't the best as many things can cause interference for it. 

What color do you get if you connect an ethernet wire between the router/satellite? 

(you can get a pretty long ethernet wire for pretty cheap)

Try connecting them to test out the connection. If it works fine, it indicates your powerline is the issue. 

Please visit and post about this over in the Orbi AC forum:

Thank you.

I am struggeling with my wired back-haul set-up.

I have devolo magic 2 powerlines (4).

One has been installed near the RBR and had been directly connected with a cat 6 cable to the LAN port.

2 for RBS's and one for my television.

I have disabled daisy chain.

For testing purposes I have connected one with and one without powerline.

Both lights are purple. 
However, there is connectivity, because I can connect to the ip address and see this:

All devices (wifi) are connected to the RBR, but when i unplug one of the RBS I can see my laptop go offline and having to reconnect so somehow I think they are connected. 

What am I missing here?

These are the settings for my wifi

Thanks!
