Orbi6 AX6000 - Not connecting as a star network - both satellites hard wired back haul
I have an Orbi WiFi 6 Router AX6000 system.
Both satellites are hardwired backhaul to the RBR850.
For some reason - they are no longer set-up in a Star Network and now one of the satellites keeps diasy chaining through the other satellite.
How do I get the system back in a Star Network set-up - so both satellies are connected to the RBR850 router!
Thanks!
There we go.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

You have both satellites hardwired into the router?
What is telling you its in a daisy chain setup?And if its hardwired, even if its daisy chained, it should still perform the same because its all going through the ethernet connection

Yes - thanks - both satellites are hardwired back into the RBR850. I find it strange that now one of the satellites (although both being hardwored back into the RBR850) show going through the other satellite. It always was set-up as a Star network.
Thanks in advance for your help!
This is from the RBR850This is from the Orbi6 App

Ya Daisy Chain is only over wireless connections, not wired.
