What happens when you connect the RBS directly to the RBR:

Ubnt ER4-Switch-RBR850(lan)<>RBS850(lan)

 

or this configuration?

Ubnt ER4-<>RBR850(lan)<Switch>RBS850(lan)

 

Whats the model# of the old GS switch? 

What FW version is the Orbi using currently?

The old gs switch is gs 208

The FW of orbi is V3.2.10.11_1.2.12.

 

If I connect the RBS directly to the RBR:

Ubnt ER4-Switch-RBR850(lan)<>RBS850(lan)

 

The only issus is the magenta light will be up in any time. It could vanish in seconds or minutes. When you log in the orbi admin page, it say no internet(then after seconds turn to good)

 

Ubnt ER4-<>RBR850(lan)<Switch>RBS850(lan) Samething to this one.

 

As long as you connect RBR to internet via Lan port(AP mode), the magenta light in the RBR850(RBS850 is fine) will be up in any time. I tried to remove other devices in the lan port on RBR850,leave the wan port empty, nothing changed.

 

I did reset RBR850 and RBS850 and made these configuration.

 

BTW,the RBK50 is ok in this configuration. No "no internet" issue.

Thank you!
