Daisy-chain not working as expected
Hi there, I have tried the power-cycling trick as explained here but no success. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/ORBI-RBR20-won-t-daisy-chain-wirelessly/m-p/1790493#M68733 My 2 satellites...
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
The house is about 1 800 sqm but it is quite long.
I would guess the range between each unit is a bit over 30 feet.
The strange thing is that they are in a line but last satellite prefer talking to the router, anyhow.
Backhaul status says Good on both satellites.
Telnet info gives:
"mac address": "28:80:88:F9:BA:6B",
"ip address": "192.168.1.16",
"module name": "RBS50",
"serial number": "5LT2945C0646C",
"signal strength": "-51",
"backhaul status": "2",
"device name": "Orbi Satellite-1",
"current version": "V2.3.5.30"
}, {
"mac address": "38:94:ED:0C:78:6C",
"ip address": "192.168.1.15",
"module name": "RBS50",
"serial number": "5PV1945X06042",
"signal strength": "-71",
"backhaul status": "2",
"device name": "Orbi Satellite-2",
"current version": "V2.3.5.30"What happens if you swap the RBS around?
Has a factory reset been performed on the RBSs and re-synced with Daisy Chain enabled?
Are you using the singal strength to determine how the last RBS is connecting to the RBR or RBS?
I have made factory resets several time.
Not swapped satellites, though. Will make a test.
