I do not see Daisy Chain in the settings on the Orbi Pro SXK80, Is it removed or does it still work? Thanks!

We were told several times the new Orbi Pro WiFi 6 system "does it right automatically". I'm not convinced this is true for all possible combination of wired and wireless backhauls however...

I have the same issue. 3 satellites plus base. All satellites connect to base. Despite a sat placed half way in between providing a much stronger/closer signal via windows, most distant sat goes all the way to base through 3 concrete walls. Results in “fair” signal and All devices attached have crap for speed. Still waiting for firmware to address this.

  Very interesting. I’m actually running both of the Orbi Pro, Older unit, and a new unit. Older unit still has it, and newer unit I do not see it. I hope one of the tech-support see this post and try to put somehow a way that we can see how all the satellites are daisychained similar to the home version . T
  
  Thanks for your response!
