orbi satellite to satellite connection
Hello, My question is with the Orbi satellites and their connection with eachother and the router. I'm wondering if the satallites get a signal from eachother or just the router. This is my curren...
There is no difference in radio strength between the router and satellite (regulated by FCC), so exchanging those devices may not result in improvement.
What happens if Sat2 is temporarily located in the same room as Sat1?
Does it get a "blue light"?
It might be worth a minute to check that "Daisy Chain" is enabled (it was by default on my Orbi).
That is on the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings, Wireless Settings, about 2/3 of the way down the page.
It also might be worthwhile to move Sat2 around a bit upstairs. I once changed a backhaul link dramatically when it moved out of the "shadow" of a brick chimney that I did not realize was running from the ancient (abandoned) coal furnace in the basement up through the roof.
