When Daisy Chain is disabled then you should only see one hidden backhaul network originated from the router. If Daisy Chain is enabled then you will see one hidden network from each of the Satellites as well.
Please make a wifi scan using a laptop or a mobile device. If you see any hidden network from any of the Satellites (Check the MAC addresses to see which Satellite is which) then please restart or power cycle that Satellite. It could be that the parameter change when you disabled Daisy Chain was not passed to the Satellite from the Router for some reason (e.g. bad link).
It’s this hidden network that allows Satellites to connect to the Router (in star topology) or other Satellites (in Daisy Chain topology).

Or point your browser at each Satellite debug.htm page. Verify that Daisy-Chain is indeed disabled on that page.
