Is IGMP and any green ethernet features on the switch disabled as well?
Best way to connect RBS is to wirelessly connect them first to the RBR. Once they are connected, then connect the ethernet cable between the RBR and RBS while the RBS is still ON. Then the connection will change over by itself if the connection thru the switch isn't inhibiting. You may want to try a different switch if you can't get the status to show a wired connection to the RBS.

yes loop detection off, IGMP off. Power savings Off. I'm still getting a purple dot in the mobile app and 5G in the webUI. Frustrating. I bought netgear switches thinking this would "just work". sigh.
Can you confirm that the RBS connects wired with out the switch in between? If the status shows as wired with the RBS directly conencted to the RBR then the issue is either a bad LAN cable or the switch is causing the problem.
