Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18

It's a GS108Ev3, two actually.  I have two sats - I set them both up with wireless backhaul.  I then connected a wired backhaul for the first sat - this went through one GS108Ev3.  After a short period it showed wired backhaul.  I then connected the second, this time it was going through 2 switches - I waited for 1/2 hour or more with no joy.   I then turned off IGMP snooping on both switches - for no good reason other than I've tried everything else...shortly after this change the second sat connected.  From what I could read this shouldn't have made any difference, but the change resulted in the Sat showing up wired and I've been good since that point in time.  

Now that I'm stable I don't want to tear it down to test if the IGMP snooping really was the key...

So do you have a managed switch? Whats the Mfr and model# of your switch please.

So disabling IGMP snoop seems to help on managed switches? This is good info. Was hoping there is something on these switches to help users that have them.

Thanks for letting us know. Will pass this on.

A couple of things that helped me (not sure if they are all needed)

Factory reset
set up wireless connection to satellites first then move to wired location
Network connection to router should be to one of the lan ports
Turn off diasy chain
Turn off IGMP snooping on your managed switch

I'm running stable w/ correct reporting of "good" "wired" connection in the GUI
