Hello Netgear,

 

Just so that I understand, for the RBK50 firmware;

 

Does the RBK50 (Orbi Router) Firmware Version 2.1.2.18 support Ethernet Backhaul still?

 

Does the RBK50 BETA MR 2.1.3 Firmware, support Ethernet Backhaul?

 

Thanks!

        And we're back.... Not a fancy setup. Wireless backhaul. Only currently using Router and 1 Satellite until the basement is finished. uPNP turned off. Fast Roaming turned on. Otherwise default (using OpenDNS dns servers though).

         

        Everything came back up.... Will report any stabilty issues (although knock wood, I was pretty stable and not in the "damn you Orbi" crew).
