Disabling Daisy Chain

This appears to be an excellent idea.  i.e. Move one of the satellites so that the connection paths are no longer similar.  The terms "office" and "desk" might lead one to suspect that computers (or laptops) are connected to the satellites with Ethernet cable.  (What I certainly would attempt to do.)  The WiFi backhaul changing affects every device connected to a satellite.

Another possibility is to attempt to make one of the connection paths less desirable than the other by placing a radio obstacle in the path between two of the Orbi units.  I am thinking along the lines of those metal book ends often found in libraries.  About 8x11 inches.  Or, perhaps, a dozen pieces of aluminum foil in the pages of a book, or taped to a cardboard box.  The goal being to degrade WiFi performance in that specific direction.  I was astounded one time to find that a brick chimney hidden inside a wall created a dramatic "WiFi shadow".  Moving three feet left or right produced a wonderful WiFi connection.

Insanely crazy, right?   But the situation as it stands is unworkable.  Something must be done!
