Orbi Pro missing Daisy Chain topology
Orbi Pro missing Daisy Chain topology is missing Daisy Chain topology in V1.12.1.28 firmware.
It's illogical that a "Pro" version of a product misses one important feature of the least expensive model.
Also, several vendors state that this product creates a "wireless mesh network", but in practice satellites only connect to routers, so for now this is a false statement.
Any workaround for this?
Surely Netgear can make this right in the near future.

Try the debug page. [ip]/debug.htm
The option seems to be unavailable.
Hmmm, I just found that on the debug page. Anyone know why it might be there AND disabled?
Found a solution thanks to Boomerang3.
First I installed the V1.12.1.38_BETA firmware (sent to me by a Netgear support representative) on my Orbi Pro router and both of the Orbi Pro Satellites.
Then, I tried enabling daisy chain feautre through the [ip]/debug.htm of one of the satellites, but the feature was disabled and locked.
The solution was to enable the daisy chain feature through the [ip]/debug.htm of the router, which allowed the change.
After this, and waiting a couple of minutes, both the satellites had the daisy chain feature enabled and a working connection between the two of my satellites.
