Wired backhaul configured but still shows WLAN Backhaul Statistics
I've got an RBR-50 (configured as an AP) with satellites configured using wired ethernet backhaul. The GUI shows all the satellites connected using wired backhaul. When I go to advanced -> admin...
So did the one RBS directly connected to the back of the RBR show wired or wireless as the status?
The directly cabled RBS showed wired.
Then I connected another satellite through the switch, and it too showed wired, but then backhaul traffic started.
I've got two satellites hooked up now, directly attached, and after a little activity on the wireless backhaul, it has gone quiet.
My next trial will be connecting an 8 port unmanaged gigabit switch to the RBR50, then the satellites to the 8 port switch, and see how that goes.
Let us know....whats the Mfr and model# of the unmanged switch?
Possible that your managed switch, even though had IGMP disabled, the green ethernet features maybe playing a roll in the bad behavior seen on Orbi.
