Setting up New RBR850 from RBR50 with OnQ set up
So looking for suggestion for a smooth transition if possible. I just purchased a RBR850 and trying to get some suggestions on setting up my new system and transferring all my information from my Or...
Thanks will give this a try and report back. Also wondering if my Ethernet gigabit switches are causing instability. I was wired for my backhaul so I will try it with wireless
What is the Mfr and Model# if your switches your using?
- Legrand 8-port Gigabit Switch DA1008
It’s part of my Legrand On Q system Is this your switch?
https://www.legrand.us/onq/networking/wired-networks/routers-switches/da1008.aspx
See it has green ethernet:
Energy-Efficient Ethernet compliant (IEEE 802.3az)
This has been known to cause problems between RBR and RBS.
Yeah that's it. Any recommendations to fixing this? My cameras and the Legrand router are hardwired via the switch directly to the router.
From what the description says it is Green Ethernet compliant
Ya which for some reason orbi systems do not like that feature.
Do you have to use that particular switch or can you install in its place a different switch? Like NG GS 105 or 108 switch?
What is the connection lay out diagram look like staring from the ISP ONT/Modem then to > router> then Switch then RBS?
Please give a description of this lay out.
- Unable to switch out the legrand for the NG because I have to many switches and it would be costly. But from what I see and think from a diagram standpoint it goes. ATT Fiber ISP to Arris BG210 modem to ORBI router to 3 gigabit switches to every Ethernet port in the house has believe. The Orbi satellites gets directly plugged into one Ethernet port in the house.
Update, so I made the changes suggested, some of which were already done prior. But restarted my modem and then orbi and was getting better consistent speeds. Then proceeded to do Ethernet Backhaul, restarted modem and then orbi, now getting consistent speeds once again. So far so good. Using one of my old orbi satelites as Ethernet backhaul and working well in addition. Now just waiting for my extra RBS850 that I purchased to get better coverage for my home which is about 8000 sq. ft.
Thank you FURRYE38 for you input and suggestions
