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...
Let me know if you get a stable wired backhaul. I have never been able to get wired backhaul to work without crashing the router.
Haha, that's not very comforting! But yes, I will. If it doesn't work, I may look into using a lot of different access points and just wiring everything up. But it's a pain and I'd rather just simplify and try and use this.
Will update here as soon as I can!
Ok so a quick update. I turned off all wired devices connecting to the router and satellite and only kept the wifi ones on.
Then I turned off both router and satellite, attached the cable and turned both on. It acted funny for a bit but then gave me a stable connection. I waited about 5 minutes for it to go down, but it didn't.
I then connected my other router (working as a switch with dhcp disabled) and quickly disabled anything I could think of which wasn't necessary like Redirects, TR-069, UPnP IGD, etc.For now, it seems to be working fine. I have tested transfers over the ethernet and they work to be around 100MB/s which is great.
Internet seems stable too. Seems like I may have finally fixed it!
hey there - i am having same exact issues you had. did your solution work long term?
Hi,
Yes it does seem to be working fine. I think the problem may have been some sort of incompatibility with the other switch on the network. However, after disabling almost everything on it, it seems to be stable enough.
Enough people have situations like mine and yours to say that the firmware is far from complete and bug free, but with a little bit of luck you should be able to get it working too.
Let us know how it goes for you!
