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
pete
Sat --- base --- Sat or can this be used now as
base --- Sat--- Sat
When the Orbi product was released in 2016 "Daisy Chain" connection of satellites was not supported. That feature was implemented YEARS ago.
(sometimes message threads from seven years ago are not longer useful.)
