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 Topolog...
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.

My house is a large rectangle. Router is in open closet/room on one end. Downstairs satellite is in fam. rm about 75ft away. Upstairs satt. is about 80ft away. from router. I changed the 2.4 channel to 06 and briefly disconnected downstairs satt. Laptop is now connected to the router and seems more stable so not sure if the chann. change affected it. It's also now connected using 5GHz
I'd expect the satellite to have problems connecting to the router if it was 75 or 80 feet away. That would explain dropped connections. I would try to move them closer together, or move one satellite to the middle and see if they daisy chain.
Should I turn daisychaining on?
If so, would that decrease the signal since piggybacking?
