First post here, and a newbie so apologize if information is missing. Anyway, here goes:
Setup: Modem --> RBR750 --> RBS750
Problem: Have been running smoothly until a couple of days ago, where suddenly the I have no internet access through wireless connection to router. If I connect through the satellite I experience no problem.
Can't seem to find a similar problem when I search.
Extra question: Which switch do you use for backhaul connection? I've read something about the switch needing to be non-managed and non-green, is that correct? It's hard finding these terms described when searching for switches.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I just saw that a firmware update was pushed a couple of days ago, a factory reset seems to have done the trick.
What modem is it? No idea, something supplied by the internet supplier. I have fiber internet.
What firmware is on the router and on the satellites? The latest, I can see that an update was pushed approx. 4 days ago.
Do wired devices on the route work fine? No wired devices.
What switch do you have? No switch (yet)
And its setup using a wired backhaul? It wasn't, it is now 🙂
Is the satellite wired into the lan port of the router? It is now. Is that not basically the same question as above?
Can you recommend a non-managed, non-green switch that is not quite as expensive as yours? 😄

Re: Can connect to satellite but not router
I've used a multitude of switches and haven't had any issues.
I'd just pick up a cheap non-managed switch and you should be fine.
Like I said, i've tried quite a few different non-managed and never had one have issues.
So you should be pretty safe. Just pick a decent non-managed gigabit that has the port layout/amount that you want.
So you have the router working now?
If so, I'd mark it solved so others aren't still trying to fix this 🙂

Re: Can connect to satellite but not router
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
