RBK353 daisy chain setup
Hi there, I'm in the process of changing the configuration of my home wireless to an L shaped form along a corridor with walls on the sides where 2 room are located Wifi should reach the two rooms . I'm thinking to buy a RBK353 and to position the Orbi router close to the ISP modem router (switched off wifi)in AP mode wifi connected to the first satellite which would be wifi connected then to the second satellite. So basically a Daisy Chain configuration: Router->RBS1->RBS2.
I checked the RBK353 manual about the Daisy Chain configuration but there's no trace of this set-up.
I'm wondering if this is an available mode of operation and how (if any) it might be set-up.
Thank you

With the new AX systems, its automatic.
I would recommend though, if you plan on daisy chaining, the tribands are a better option than the dual band systems. The dedicated backhauls allow lower latency and higher speeds. (unless you're hardwiring in the satellites, then it doesn't matter)
If the tribands aren't an option, I'd try to centrally locate the router to prevent daisy chaining.
Not saying you can't daisy chain with it but the end of the chain ends up with much lower speeds and higher latency.

Thank you for your answer.
So that's why there is no mention in the user manual; may be a few words about it would help ......
Unofrtunately I can't hardwire, ducts are fully loaded. The system I'm planning is with RBK352 that I understand is a triband so I should not loose too much speed and latency. I suppose I might loose some as the connection and backhauls are wi fi, not wired. Distance is about 30 feet for RBR to RBS1 with two light brick walls in between and 15 feet for RBS1 to RBS2 one light brick wall.
Any idea of the potential loss?
