Satellite keeps reconnecting to the router instead of daisy chaining
My most remote satellite keeps disconnecting from its nearest satellite (when it shows great performance) to the router (when the performance sucks). I keep moving the satellites around but no joy fr...
Well that worked for only about 5 minutes. I moved Satellite 1 farther away - probably about 35 feet. then I rebooted Satellite 2 - it connected to Satellite 1 briefly, then swung itself over the the primary router. This means poorer performance for anyone connected to Satellite 2, and its connection to the router swings from good to poor. When it is poor it tends to stay locked onto the router.
Other thoughts? Are there any settings that can affect this?
There is an aggressive roaming setting in /debug.htm on each of the satellites. I am not sure if it will help with backhaul daisy chain roaming issues.
It would be nice if we could lock in preferred daisy chain partners.
