Orbi RBK52W system
I am looking to purchase a WiFi MESH system for my church. We currently have a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 but can't get a signal in the sanctuary due to the distance. I was thinking about purchasing the Orbi RBK52W and place the satellites in a line to get the signal there. Will this work? It is a MESH system but not sure if it will transmit from satellite to satellite to router. Any help would be great.

30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

Ok, but will one satellite talk to the other satellite and then to the router? Is this a true MESH Network? If the signal will not pass from satellite to satellite then this will probably not work for us.
Sorry, I just saw the daisychain info. Thanks. Will it do this out of the box or does it require technical setup?
