First, I'm not sure what is wrong with the Model field - I haven't been able to select my model in at least a week. If I type Orbi in there, the options do not include my model.
Next - while trying to confirm that I truly had Daisy Chain disabled, it appeared that I did not. Further investigation reveals that satellites also have their own debug.htm page, and one of the items that appears is "Disable Daisy-Chain". One of my satellites has that checked, the other does not. Looking at the wifi signals around my house, I do see more hidden Netgear signals than I think I should. My understanding is that Daisy-Chain is implemented for wireless by the satellites also enabling a backhaul 5G signal.
For kicks, after realizing that you can Telnet to satellites as well as the router, I dumped the config (config show > config.txt) from both of my satellites, and transferred them to my MacBook Pro. I sorted them, then compared them. There are many differences, some of which seem unexpected. One thing I did NOT find that I expected to, was a setting that was obviously the daisy-chain config.
I'm guessing the only way to get daisy-chain disabled on both of my satellites is to turn it back on and then off again, which means I get to restart twice...
