I’ve noticed FURRYe38 has mentioned many times on this forum that “If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. SOME have mentioned that this SEEMS to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.”
Can anyone actually verify if enabling Daisy Chain actually turns this setting off within the current Firmware (v2.2.1.210)?

Daisy Chain is enabled when it's ticked in the settings and disabled when unticked in the settings.
You can see this by making a wifi scan after you enable Daisy Chain (ticked in the settings) where you will see that each satellite will start broadcasting an own hidden 5 GHz network to allow other satellites to connect to.
When Daisy Chain is disabled (unticked in the settings) only the router will broadcast this hidden wireless 5 ghz network so the satellites will be only able to connect to the router (start setup) and not to another satellite (Daisy Chain).
