So "turning off daisy chain"...  depending on who you talk to, you get "Tribal Knowledge" input that perhaps the setting is backwards on the configuration screen. (e.g. checked is actually off)

 

What is the authoritative way of ensuring daisy chain is turned off?  (Is there something you can monitor to see the intended effect was made?

 

Thanks!  Great discussions!

Please tick off Daisy Chain in the Advanced Wireless settings to disable Daisy Chain.

You can check that Daisy Chain is disabled by making a wifi scan. You should only see one "hidden" network (network with no SSID) using one of the upper 5 GHz channells with the MAC address of the Router.

If Daisy Chain is enabled you will see one hidden network for every Satellite as well, with the respective MAC addresses of every satellite.

This is what I meant:

If Daisy Chain is disabled, you will only see the Router's Backhaul in the above wifi scan. Notice the MAC address of the basestation in the wifi scan to see if it's the router or the satellite.
