RBR10/RBS10 dual band - daisy chaining support?
I have just bought an RBR10 + 2x RBS10 "Mesh" wifi system.
However it is not working as I expected, due to very thick walls, and I am struggling to find out if this model and firmware actually supports daisy-chain true mesh topology or not?
It seems not (which honestly seems like false advertising to me....)
Can anyone tell me if it does, and if it does, how I enable it?
Thanks for any help
Thanks. I had already read the manual and found those links, and none of it answers the question definitively. as you said it "may" not be supportive.
However one of the satellites has now switched over to connect via one of the others, so initially it seemed like hub and spoke but now I can see it is daisy chaining.

To confirm this does seem to daisy chain for the RBR10 and RBS10 satellites, using firmware V2.3.6.18.

However, forgot to add, in the advanced settings there is NOT any option to enable or disable daisy chaining that I could see:

This appears to be a feature of the firmware for more expensive/advanced models, not the RBR10 model.
