RBK852 - how to disable dynamic daisy chaining?

So, I'm using a RBK852 system with an additional RBS850 and RBS 750 purchased seperately (My house is large, 7500+ sf). My problem is that my satellites are sometimes connecting to one another rather than to my router, dynamically creating daisy chains. When this happens, any currently ongoing activities like online gaming or zoom calls get badly disrupted.

 

How do I disable my satellites from randomly changing their network topology? I want to be able to either disable daisy chaining or manually assign a permanent chain that can't dynamically morph to something else.

  • Orbi AX doesn't support this. 

     

    Placement and distance from the RBR is key to avoid RBS Daisy chainging. 

     

    Swap RBS positions.

    Move the RBS closer to the RBR.
