RBK50 Daisy-Chaining and Intermittant drop-outs
I have one RBR50 in AP mode with a wireless connection to one RBS50 with the Daisy-Chain option unchecked. Intermittantly I get momentary drop-outs on a Pixel3 phone and an old LG tablet (both not mo...

I am not seeing what you describe. This is a very lightly-loaded network with only one RBS50 satellite. I have configured the 2.4GHz band to channels 11+7 and the 5GHz to channel 48.

JoeM845, this is what I mean. This is what I see in my network when Daisy Chain is enabled (this is from the built-in wifi scanner in my Macbook):
Once I disable backhaul only the Router Backhaul will be visible while the satellite backhaul networks will disappear. This is a proof that the Daisy Chain setting (on or off) is working correctly and not reversed.

1) Should the daisy-change option affect performance with only one satellite?

No. Daisy Chain allows Satellites to connect to other Satellites in Daisy Chain topology instead of only having the option to connect only to the Orbi Router in a start topology

3) In fw 2.2.1.210, does the unchecked daisy-chain option mean the feature is disabled or enabled?

Checked means always Daisy Chain is activated. Unchecked means it's unactivated. The issue in FW 2.2.1.210 is that the system does not seem to work correctly when Daisy Chain is deactivated, so it's recommended to have it activated if you have wireless backhaul until this issue is solved hopefully in the comming releases.

4) If the daisy-chain option is displayed backwards, what implications does this have for any daisy-chain testing done by NG?
As in 3) above :)

5) Is there anyway to get some sort of log/history about the drop-outs?

In the Logs that you find under >> ADVANCED >> Administration >> Logs you should see the DHCP assignment event for devices that drops wifi connection (get de-attached) and the attached again. The DHCP event is the attach event.
