If I have Enable Daisy Chain Topology checked then the backhaul status on both satellites shows as Good. If I have Enable Daisy Chain Topology unchecked then the backhaul status on the RBW30 shows as Poor. Does this mean it cannot establish a clean backhaul to the router, as I am assuming the RBW30 is connecting via wireless backhaul to the other satellite when Enable Daisy Chain Topology is checked.
