daisy chain RBR40

hi

we live in NYC - neighbors to the left, right, below, and above - all with wifi.

in our space, we use a RBR40, two RBS20, and an outdoor Orbi 50.

our squarefootage is over 2000 plus outdoor roof.

 

i enabled Daisy Chain with the hope that the router would signal the satellite and the satellite would signal next satellite then the outdoor satellite.

the app shows a different line - Orbi Router lines to the two satellites then one of the satellites lines to the outdoor unit.

fast roaming is enabled

beamforming and MuMIMO are both disabled.

looking for opinions if this is set up correctly or maybe i do not need two use both indoor satellites.

 

also, recently the app shows one of the satellites with a yellow dot but the satellite is not glowing orange.

 

i am up to date on the firmware across the router and satellites.

 

 

thanks,

    thanks for sharing the article - if the RBSY50 is outside and furthest away from the router, does it make sense to enable Daisychain?  

    yes...I believe the Daisychain feature is enabled by default

      hi vajim,

       

      i have checked by logging into the admin online - at first it shows poor then refreshes to good.  Does the mapping on the app show illustrate the daisy chain?

       

      thanks...wifiblues
