Orbi Satellite connect to another Satellite? Daisy Chain
I know Orbi Satellite cannot connect to another Satellite but router, however, isn't that you need to be able to do the daisy chain ( Mesh topology) to claim as the mesh system? Can anyone answer my ...
If you download the latest version of the Orbi Bios and OrbiOS 2.0 You can now Daisy Chain. Give it a try and let us know how it worked for you. https://www.netgear.com/support/product/orbi.aspx
Tried updating the firmware with RBS50-V2.0.0.74
Did not work - said it was not correct for the Orbi
Be aware that the different Routers and Satellites have separate Firmware files. Do you have the RBK50 system? This means you would have the RBR and RBS 50 firmwares. Ensure you are using the correct files. Thanks!

Yes, that was my problem - I did not notice the single letter difference in the middle of the long filename. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make them more obvious? Especially as they are bothe exactly the same size.
- I updated my Orbi system to 0.74 and it seems to be working fine. I noticed that the satellite no longer shows up on the network map. Is that because it is now daisy chaining or due to something else? The sat is synced. Thanks.
