Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh System AX6000 (RBK853)
Question about Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh System AX6000 (RBK853)
Hello all, Does anyone operate this in AP mode with backhaul via Ethernet? My current system, the RBK50 set, can also do this, but the management is then mega tedious, because the app no longer works and the router does not see its satellites, so I have to upgrade the satellites separately via s'WebUI, for example, with a new firmware.
I have connected the main module with an Ethernet cable to the first satellite, from there it goes via a Devolo Gigaset to the next room because I don't have a cable there. From the Gigaset satellite via cable then to the second RBK50 satellite. The connection between the main module and both satellites is shown as "wired" in the app and I have the full functionality of the app. I have already carried out FW updates twice.
The first time I set it up with a Wi-Fi connection, and only then did I set up the satellites in their final location and connect them via cable. It was no problem at all. When setting up, the app sometimes did not show the current status of the satellite, this seems to be a timing problem. However, the setup itself worked reliably.
