I’m trying to connect the 1 router and 1 satellite (RBK852) to a switch in order to setup the wireless backhaul setup as shown in the attached image (1 network cable from each device to a switch). The satellite unit seems to accomplish this okay however the router doesn’t behave in the same way. It just glows purple and does not provide internet access. It is not possible to see the Orbi system on the app when setup in this way. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help!

Does the router connect to the Internet when you remove the connection to the switch?
You need to achieve that before you add the satellites.
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
