Do all satellites link back to base?

Hi, if more than one satellite is used, does each one have to connect back to the base unit, or can one satellite daisy chain from another?

hi guys

the answer is that at the present time all sats connect back to the router only , they do not at this stage communicate between each other

so at this stage the orbi is star topology

i believe it may be planned to run the orbi and its sat's in a true mesh type topology in the furure but not at this present time

this is usually not an issue if you can place the orbi router between the sat's as in

sat ------ router ------sat

Hi ChristineT,

Thanks for the reply, however it didn't really answer the question. Please let me know if using more that one sattelite does satellite 2 or 3 connect to the base unit, or can they be "daisy changed" to extend range.

Thanks
