I think Daisy Chain feature was on by default. I was not able to make it work consistently either way.
This three-piece kit is used in the home office environment where one of the satellites hosts wired ARLO cameras and SmartThings. The second satellite is in the home office (not in the main house). It has its own wired connections including NAS. Hence, the need for both.
