Switch from Wireless to Wired (RBS50v2 Satellite)

[caesar99]

Moved one satellite to a new room which has an ethernet connection to my FiOS router in the basement.  Thus, it was previously connected via 5G, now I want to move it to wired.  I rebooted/shut down the satellite, firmware version is V2.5.1.16, etherne cable works fine, still nothing.

Outside of removing and re-adding the sateliite, anything else that I can try?

Thanks in advance!

The satellites needs to connect to the orbi router or even through a switch.

If you're in a double nat (2 routers in router mode on the network) its not connecting on the same subnet as the router. 

connecting to the fios router implies you're running 2 routers on the network.

Your Orbi satellite must be wired to your Orbi base station, not your internet, in order to become part of the Orbi's network.  Like this:

  Router

      \------ Orbi base

                     \-------- Orbi satellite

From your description of the ethernet connection in your new room, it sounds like it might be like this (and which will not work):

  Router

      \------ Orbi base

       \

        \-------- Orbi satellite
