I seem to remember reading somewhere (Cannot find it again) that when used as an access point the RAX120 might be slightly slower connect via WAN rather than LAN. Just curious if anybody has any thoughts either way? I have been testing the RAX120 vs. a single Velop MX4200 unit and in my house...

No, this was what actually prompted me to check the switch, I checked the sysinfo on the velop and it was wireless backhaul I guess the wireless backhaul is better on this one than I thought. The manual says that a loop is indicated by 'Link/ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected...

Going to try a different switch (found a TP Link one with pass through) if that does not work I'll probabnly give up and probably swap my Linksys for an Orbi and just go with wireless backhaul

That is what is confusing, there is no download button anywhere and it had to be done manually downloading the FW and using the TFTP or HTTP methods. Anyway got it updated ok eventually, did a factory reset but the issue persists. It has to be faulty I guess.

Logged into the switch and did a reset but could not figure out how to update the FW. Downloaded it but updating it via maintenance just failed. There was a green ethernet setting that was on before the reset but even with that off the issue persists. Both link lights display for a few...

Never done that with a switch before, just assumed they usually work OTTB. Will head off the NG support to figure it out, worth a try.

It is the netgear GS108T, irony is the normal switch that works ok is the standard 108

Suspecting the POE switch is faulty. Powered it using the mains adapter to rule out an injector issue and it seems incapable of maintaining a link to more than one device. Old school powered switch is fine.

It’s the switch! There was no link light from the internet feed but there was on the port to the Velop node. Then I disconnected and tried again and then there was a link light from the feed but no link light to the other one! Just plugged in the old powered switch and all worked fine

The wiring seems to be working ok. Wired backhaul on the Velops is working (hard to tell for sure with the Velops but the speed from the nodes indicates wired BH) My NAS is also working fine on another socket in the house and of course the POE injector is also doing it’s job. I think it’s...

I just factory reset the NH and no dice, I think it is just a case that feeding the WAN port through the switch/ONQ wiring does not work if I plug the NH directly into the Virgin hub it is ok. It has made my decision for me though as the NH is just too big to sit by the Virgin hub so I’ll be...

The NH still did not work so will try the factory reset today. It is very odd and I can only assume that something is going on with the Virgin hub when I connect the NH but as I cannot log into either admin when I do there is no way to know!

Velop is back on right now and the velop was in router mode which maybe could have contributed as in theory before both would have been in router mode. I have now put the velop into bridge mode so will try the NH again later, if it still does not work then I guess I'll have to try the factory...

Thanks, was not something I did consciously but I'll check. Annoying thing is when the NH is connected there is obviously a network there but no device will connect to it, internet or no internet.

The NH has always been in AP mode. Connected to the WAN but did try the LAN and it did not change anything.
