How to use daisy chain topology on Orbi Satellite ?
I have a Orbi router (RBR50) and two satellites (RBS50).
When I upgrade firmware to V2.0.0.74 , I found Orbi supports daisy chain topglogy (Advanced-Advanced Setup-Wireless Settings-Backhaul Topology)
I try to link satellite-A to satellite-B: first I put two satellite in a room, then reset satellite-A, then press sync button on satellite-A and satellite-B.
I try it again and again, sometimes I found s-A connected s-B, but 5 mins later, it changes, s-A and s-B re-connected Orbi router directly.
Does Anyone success?
Thanks.
You can't control what connects to what. With daisy-chain, if a satellite sees a signal from another satellite is stronger than the router's signal, it will chain through the satellite instead. There is no way to explicitly connect two satellites.

Is daisy chaining preferred? Not sure if this is causing an issue that I'm having: one of my latops seems is dropping vpn connection every fe mins and then reconnects. This only seems to happen when it's connected to 2.4ghz nw

Its not preferred it just depends on the setup of your router and satellites in your home. so if your router is in the middle of your home then you wouldn't need the daisy chaining. as for the 2.4ghz you may want to change the wireless channels.
