Newbie ?s: Normal for Orbi RBS750 satellites to use 5G to its RB573 router and show poor status?

Question

One of them show good to poor signals in the dining room. I do get a few packet losses from wifi devices to 192.168.1.1 router like my previous old Netgear R6300 v1 router with its Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX7000-100NAS; AC1900). Is this considered interferences and too far?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Depending upon distance, building matrials, and environment, Poor status can be seen.

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Yes. IF you have them place out in a line from the RBR, then the 1st RBS that you need to turn on is the RBS nearest the RBR, then turn on the 2nd RBS thats nearest the 1st RBS.&nbsp;

Distance and building materials can be a factor.&nbsp;

I read Orbit can do daisey chain. I don't see it in my router's 192.168.1.1 web admin screens and RBK752_UM_EN.pdf manual? Does this model not have it? :(

Daisy Chain is automatic. How you placement and then turn them on, 1 at time, will determine if DC is used.&nbsp;
