ProblemConnecting more than one Orbi outdoor to

I have a RBK50 inside and need to get WiFi in another building.
With one outdoor Orbi it just gets there but with an intermittent strength.
So I put another outdoor half way
This one struggles to connect.

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?

    Whats the distance to the remote building?
    What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

    Daisy Chain has to be enabled for this to work? Is it enabled for you?

        Set Daisy Chain ON the Orbi router under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.
