Multiple Ethernet back haul satellites - finally solved!

Not so much a problem now but an answer in case others are struggling like I have been.

I've got my Orbi Router acting as an AP (Access Point) connected to my Virgin cable. I've got three satellites, one wireless the other two using ethernet. However until today they've constantly switched from wifi to wired connection. With resulting performance issues as many others have reported.

However I turned off daisy chaining...and bingo, rock solid wired connection ever since. 

I'm guessing daisy chaining isn't smarter enough yet to figure out when to use the wired connection as the preference. With multiple satellites all capable of being a hop in that chain it feels like they connect to each other and not via the best path back to the router. The downside is the satellite which is only wifi connected struggles to reach the router which is why I wanted the daisy chain active. 

I'm on the latest firmware 2.1.4.16.

My other tip is when you change things and the devices reboot, be patient. It can take a good 15 minutes to settle down and I often find I need to turn wifi on/off on devices such as iPad's to get the connection stable.
