RBR40 and 3 RBS20 daisychaining when unchecked
Running firmware v2.6.2.104 on all devices. One of the satellites is connected to another instead of the base. The other two connect to the base. I have disabled daisy chain and rebooted and upgra...
This method worked. Steps to follow if daisy chain is not turning off even after changing in the admin
Check under devices which "Connected Orbi" a satellite is using. If it is not the base then
1. Turn off the satellite in the middle that is being used as the relay
2. Turn off them back on the satelittle that you want to connect directly to the base router
3. Watch the devices connected screen to see that the satellite connects to the base properly
4. Turn on the satellite in the middle that was turned off in step 1.
All setelittes should be connected to the base and it should stay that way. I forced this because I was having unreliable connections on computers connecting to the furthest satelittle when it was relaying. No issues now 48 hrs in.

Nice work
keep an eye on the sat rim color

Thanks for the post. Sadly, the user should not have to go through these steps; turning off daisy chaining should cause the router to reconfigure on its own.
