Mixed wired / wireless and daisy chained back haul?

This closed thread states you can login into a device in your setup directly and configure that one device to be daisy chained even though other nodes are wired/wireless back haul. I've tried logging in (successfully) and can see no options to configure the node "locally". I'm running the latest software ( not beta ). 

 

How do I find the local settings if they're not in the admin menu on the local device? Thanks!

    evan2 this is a typical set-up I would expect Orbi and especially Orbi Pro to handle - without any manual intervention.

    Anything regarding configuration of the RBS or RBR is done thru the RBRs web page. Daisy Chain is found under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. It's recommended to disable Daisy Chain while having a RBS connected in ethernet mode. 

     

    You can log into the RBS web page using there IP address however only FW update and checking status features are seen here. Nothing else.
