Ethernet Backhaul
I originally set up the system with wireless backhaul. Just now reconfigured as wired. Router status still shows satellites connected as 5G. Do I need to reset the satellites or perform some other...
Tried the same thing. The latest firmware is super flaky when it comes to wired backhaul. Mine was saying wireless when it was wired and then it brought the whole network down.
The issue with the GUI is, that is sometimes even shows nonsense. I had been running my satellite via wired backhaul, before I upgraded to 2.1.2.18 and afterwards, the satellite vanished from the status page, but remained working nonetheless.
I finally reset the satellite to factory defaults and performed a wireless sync. Afterwards, it was just simply plugging in the ethernet cable.
