    Hi plemans , FURRYe38

    Thank you both for your comments! I played some more with the physical layout and it appears that wireless daisy chain clearly works based on the network map when logged into the router admin!


    Thanks again,

It'll auto negotiate. And it tends to work pretty well. 

Are you having any issues with it?

        Thanks again FURRYe38 !

         

        One more quick question:  There is a legacy, iPhone 6 in the household which is unable to connect to the new (Orbi) wifi?  Does this have anything to do with the fact that there is only one SSID broadcast (for 2.4, 5, and 6GHz) and the router negotiates which device goes where?  If so how do I remedy this?  Or maybe I'm missing something on the client side?

         

        Thanks again for all your help!!
