Ok, so you got my curiosity going.
I set up my RBR850 in AP mode as I already have a host router thats online currently.
I first set the power output to 25% on both radios as the size of my house and placement of the RBS in a linear line out from the RBR, would effect the RBS connection so I wanted to make sure the farthest RBS down in the basement would connect to the RBS and not the RBR up on a 2nd story. There is about 40-45 feet approx. from the RBR to the RBS down in the basement.
I turned on a RBS on the main floor in the kitchen, about half way in between the RBR and RBS in the basement as the crow flies:
F
First RBS connected.
I turned on the 2nd RBS down the basement and placed it at the farthest corner of the house from the RBR and let it sync.
As you can see my iphone app shows the 2nd RBS wirelessly connected to the 1st RBS.
After letting it settle for a bit, I checked my Android pad as well:
I went back after typing this up to see if the 2nd RBS connection moved from the RBS to the RBR. Still in daisy chain configuration as of posting this.
I'll leave this going for next couple of hours however I can't leave it long term as the kitchen RBS will need to be removed for dinner time. :smileywink:

Just updating this. As of close of work today, 2.5hours in operation, Daisy Chain was still configured before I had to take the system down.
