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!

  • 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
