Ethernet(1) to Orbi - to Orbi then ethernet to Humax Media Server
Ethernet(2) to gigabyte switch to both Synology NAS and Apple Time Capsule.
MacBook on Wifi can only see the Humax Media Server
MacBook connected via ethernet can see all 3 servers.
Unplug Orbi's and enable Modem/Router Wifi and the MacBook can see all 3 servers when connected via Wifi and/or ethernet - Humax media server now connected via WiFi to the router / modem.
Sorry for asking, but all help very much appreciated.
Have tried lots and am at wits end. Google Nest fire alarms do not like the Orbis 5mhz signal and nor do my WiFi enabled Arduino's - but these can all be separate issues.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Are RBS ethernet or wirelessly connected to the RBR?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration?
If you turn OFF the RBS and just connect everything to the RBR, do you see same problem?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite📡
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz. Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Not first time NEST products have had issues on MESH systems.
Old enough to remember ethernet and building in redundancy by adding alternative routes and thought (mistakenly) that this was now a good idea with the wifi and DHCP - oops.
Orbi now only connection to disabled modem/router and then everything else down stream connected to the Orbi mesh and it WORKS like a dream.
