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 ...
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.
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

Down here in Colombia the construction is very hard on WiFi due to it all being cement, adobes, cement block and rebar reinforced concrete due to earthquakes. 30 feet here like 15 feet in a normal house. :smileyvery-happy:
Thats true so ya, closer the better in that case.
So I reset the sat and added it back in and now it shows connected to the Main Router but it still shows "Poor" as BackHaul status... from everything I have read it should automaticaly connect to the best signal.... This one does not seem to want to do that.
