Orbi Satellite Connected As Daisey Chain Topology
I have a router (router1) and satellite (satellite1) as my wifi network. How do I add a second satellite (satellite2) as a daisey chain (satellite2 --> satellite1 --> router1)? Clear instructions please (step by step as though I am new to networking).

Be sure Daisy Chain is enabled on the RBR.
Placement of the RBS is key. Out in a line:

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
With the RBR already on, Turn ON the nearest RBS to the RBR first. Let it sync. Then turn on the farthest RBS thats nearest the other RBS. Let it sync. Should all connect.
