Mixed satellite connection
If I use the Orbi satellites in a mixed mode configuration so one is wired and the other is wireless, do you need to enable the daisy chain backhaul or should it be left disabled?
I'm still run...

No... the daisy chain is for when you have multiple hops of satellites back to a router.
I have three satellites, two of which are hard wired and one is RF backhaul. Works great.
BTW, update your firmware.

So based on what you say to enable Sat 1 to talk to Sat 2 and Main Orbi, it requires daisy chain mode enabled.
Correct. In that case Sat 1 will connect to the node which has better signal whether it's the Router or Sat 2.
