RBR50 with 3 sats
Router RBR50 in main office front left corner of the house, have a RBS50 in the kitchen, sort of central in the house. Have a RBS50Y in the detached garage which in front of the house and closest to the RBR50 main router, and last a RBS50Y at the back of the house outside. For some reason the back RBS50Y is connecting to the garage RBS50Y which is the fatherest device and as such is showing "Poor" under Backhaul Status. How to I get it to connect to the kitchen unit which is the closest to it?
Even if you power OFF this one RBS for 30 seconds then back ON? It should connect to the nearest RBS, not the RBR. You might try rebooting the RBR while leaving the RBS on to see if they connect in daisy chain.

Others have more experience with RBS50Y and may have a better suggestion. My first step would be to (a) power off the garage RBS50Y, (b) temporarily move the other RBS50Y to the kitchen, (c) sync it to the Orbi system in the kitchen - where it should connect to the kitchen satellite, (d) move it back outside and power it on, then (e) power the garage RBS59Y again.
(whew!)

If on, turn Daisy Chaining off and see if it fixes it.
Daisy chain is already off so I will try steps above and see if it will connect to the kitchen sat. Thanks for the replies!
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
