no 2 RBS50 limit speed

Hi

I have just added a RBS50v2 to my network (RBR50+RBS50v1), but it seems to limited the speed on the new RBS. I have a 100/100mbit connects and when I’m only using my RBR and 1 RBS50v1 it all works fine.

 

But after I added the RBS50v2, my speed on that satellite are only 9 mbit (both wifi and ethernet). I stock right on 9 mbit, so it look like a limitation on the satellite.

 

I have tired:

-Switching the satellite -> did not work

-Connected the device directly with the cable for RBS50v2 and it shows over 100mbit -> so it is not the cable.

-Enable/disable Daisy-Chain Topology - did nok work

-Switching from router to AP mode - did nok work

 

Please help me.. 😕

 

My setup:

RBR50 - wired to modem (100/100mbit - speedtest show 112/114mbit). V2.5.1.16

RBS50v1 - wired to RBR (previous no problems with wired/wireless devices). V2.5.1.16

RBS50v2 - wired to RBR (this is the one with problems!). V2.5.1.16

Enable: Beamforming, MU-MIMO, Fast Roaming, WMM

It certainly looks like that one cable is faulty. 99% of the time it is the cable termination that is bad, not the actual cable.

When either satellite is connected using a cable installed in the wall, the speed drops to 10mb, but when the satellite is connected directly to the back of the router with a short patch cable it works.

 

How does this establish that the cable inside the wall is "good"?

Does swapping RBS locations change anything?

The cables from RBS are inside the walls, but there are Cat 6a F/FTP LSZH - CU - Solid.

Do you think that is the problem? Can I fix that in some way?

Thank you! It was the cable termination that was bad.
