RBK Ethernet vs. Wireless Satellites
I have an Orbi RBK40 router, two RBS40 Satellites, and one RBS30 satellite in a 6500 square foot, three story house. I'm using the RBK40 as the actual router/modem for the network - I do not have or ...
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?
30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
Any network switches in the house? If so, Mfr and model#?
To connect wired ethernet:
If you have them first set up wireless, Turn OFF all satellites, take one satellite at a time, and connect it directly in back of the Orbi router. Do this while in the same room as the Orbi router. After connecting, give it 5 minutes. the top led on the satellite should turn ON BLUE. I would set up an IP address reservation ON the router for each satellite after you get it connected wired eithernet. Once this is done, turn it off and take it and place it in the remote location. Do this same process for all satellites.
