Hi, I factory reset the satellite, then synced it wirelessly placing it next to the router. It synced perfectly and they are now both on the same firmware.
I now take the router to the remote location connect the Ethernet cable and turn it on. (No switches between the router and satellite). It does not connect via Ethernet, it still connects wirelessly.
The Ethernet cable is good; it was working perfectly with another RBS50 that dyed.
Please help. What is the proper way to setup this connection via Ethernet backhaul?
Re: Cannot sink RBS50 satellite via Ethernet backhaul
So Syncing the RBS via ethernet should happen after the RBS is wirelessly SYNCed and while it's synced, plug in the ethernet cable in between the RBS and RBR and give about 2-3 minutes, status should change on the RBR to wired.
Try this with the RBS in same room as the RBR to see if it works there.
What FW is loaded on the RBR and RBS?
What CAT# LAN cable is being used? CAT6 is recommended.
Re: Cannot sink RBS50 satellite via Ethernet backhaul
Agree with @FURRYe38 that it is a good idea to test the satellite's Ethernet connection in the same room with the router (and obviously a different cable). Might not hurt to eyeball the RJ45 port on this replacement satellite to see if any of those tiny gold wires are bent.

Any progress on this?
