MK83 Daisy Chaining
I’ve called support received help but the same problem still exists. I am outside of my return window from BestBuy and now I am stuck with this trash WiFi system. Every morning the speeds are insan...
Also. Even when they do not Daisy chain like this , the speeds are still absolutely trash in the morning EVERY morning.
No clue what’s going on with this system but for the money you would except better.

a couple things.
1. what modem do you have them connected to?
2. what firmware is on the router? What firmware is on the satellite? (please don't put "the latest")
3. It does support daisy chain. It just doesn't support the option to disable it. https://kb.netgear.com/000048458/What-is-daisy-chain-and-how-does-it-work-with-my-Orbi-WiFi-System
4. The satellites should be at least 30ft away from the router/each other
5. what are the interior walls of your home made from? Certain materials block wifi better than others
- Hey!
1.) CM2000-100NAS
2.) Router and Satellites v1.1.6.6
3.) OK! Support was wrong then.
4.) I guess I’ll try to move them further, not sure if I can? If I cannot should I remove one?
5.) Just standard drywall with possibly HVAC runs throughout the walls obviously.Yes, try seperating them a bit more.
And you can always try taking 1 out. I know with my orbi, stability was sacrificed when I had to many satellites.
Also, try moving devices laterally. If there is hvac in the floors/walls, it might be causing blockage from where the router is.
Another thing to try is shut off the satellites and test just the router's speeds wired, on 2.4ghz, and on 5ghz. See what you get directly off the router and how it impacts stability. I've seen a bad satellite cause instability issues.
