glad to see this hit the servers , its been brewing in beta for quite some time
apart from the daisy chain topology users should notice stability improvements as well as an improved attached device list and a few new things in the advanced setup section including vlan support

I'd expect the daisy chaining to come with a throughput penalty, similar to a repeater. I have only one satellite, so I can't test it.

Well, considering I’ve been banging on about ethernet backhaul for months I’m glad I held the faith and stuck with it.
One happy camper here :smileyhappy: :smileyhappy: :smileyhappy:

Bing-StrollerAre you assuming (or have you confirmed) that daisy-chaining means Ethernet backhaul? I would think it means wireless meshing of the satellites, especially since the setting is under Advanced Wireless settings.

Hands up, it's an assumption - not in a position to do any testing at the minute.
But, it actually suits my setup even better as the layout and plans i have are more suited to wireless meshing of the satellites.
Forgive me, its all the excitement :smileyhappy:
